Our latest advances in the field of miniaturized optical PM sensors are presented. This sensor combines a hybrid fluidic-optronic CMOS (holed retina) that is able to record a specific irradiance pattern scattered by an illuminated particle (scattering signature), while enabling the circulation of particles toward the sensing area. The holed retina is optically coupled with a monolithic, millimeter-sized, refracto-reflective optical system.

In this paper, we present the design, the fabrication and the characterization of an Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) based on a SiGe graded index waveguide platform, operating at 4.5 µm. These devices were specifically designed to work together with an array of Distributed Feedback Bragg Quantum Cascade Lasers (DFB-QCL) emitting at different wavelengths.

SiGe alloys present a large Infra-Red transparency window and a full compatibility with the standard Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor processing making them suitable for applications in integrated optics. In this paper we report on Mlines characterization of Si(1-x)Ge(x) graded index waveguides at 2.15 µm.

We present a polarized goniofluorimeter designed to measure the observation-angle and polarization-dependent intensity emitted by a group of surface-bound fluorescent molecules. We studied two types of surface bonding: In one case, dyes were adsorbed into the surface by spin coating, and in the other, dyes were covalently immobilized to DNA strands. Fluorescent dyes consisted of Cy3 and Alexa546.
