To this end, the wavelength dependent nature of interference-based antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide technology is exploited.

We demonstrate a novel bistable optical waveguide switch, which may be suitable for incorporation in large-dimension optical cross connects.

It is based upon the effective refractive index change caused by cells when they adhere to a planar optical waveguide.

The paper introduces a wavelength converter composed of a metallic finite 2-dimensional particle grating on top of an optical waveguide.

Liquid-core optical waveguides guide both light and fluids in the same volume.

Here, we tackle this problem by using smooth planar optical waveguides as the support.

The trap is based on spatio-temporal light modulation that is implemented using networks of antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides.

Here, we report a new type of particle trap that relies on propagation loss in confined modes in liquid-core optical waveguides to trap particles.
