We have recently introduced a fully flexible, compact photonic platform, Parylene photonics. Here, we demonstrate a Parylene photonic waveguide array microimager with a light source localization accuracy of 17.04 µm along the x-axis and 30.07 µm along the y-axis over a 200 µm×1000 µm region. We show the feasibility of fluorescent imaging from mouse brain tissue using the microimager array.Clinical Relevance- Implantable microimagers can be used for clinical intraoperative monitoring as well as structural and functional imaging with cell-type specificity in research.

Liquid crystals (LCs) have been adopted to induce tunable physical properties that dynamically originated from their unique intrinsic properties responding to external stimuli, such as surface anchoring condition and applied electric field, which enables them to be the template for aligning functional guest materials. We fabricate the fiber array from the electrically modulated (in-plain) nematic LC template using the chemical vapor polymerization (CVP) method. Under an electric field, an induced defect structure with a winding number of -1/2 contains a periodic zigzag disclination line.

Transparent epidural devices that facilitate the concurrent use of electrophysiology and neuroimaging are arising tools for neuroscience. Testing the biocompatibility and evoked immune response of novel implantable devices is essential to lay down the fundamentals of their extensive application. Here we present an immunohistochemical evaluation of a Parylene HT/indium-tin oxide (ITO) based electrocorticography (ECoG) device, and provide long-term biocompatibility data at three chronic implantation lengths.

The influence of plasma-reduction treatment on iron and copper compounds at different oxidation states was investigated in this study. For this purpose, reduction experiments were carried out with artificially generated patina on metal sheets and with metal salt crystals of iron(II) sulfate (FeSO), iron(III) chloride (FeCl), and copper(II) chloride (CuCl), as well as with the metal salt thin films of these compounds. All the experiments were carried out under cold low-pressure microwave plasma conditions; the main focus was on plasma reduction at a low pressure in order to evaluate an implementable process in a parylene-coating device.

However, owing to both the dependence on complex equipment and the trade-off between the fabrication cost and sensing performance, nanostructured plasmonic fiber-optic sensors are rarely used outside laboratories. To facilitate wider application of the plasmonic fiber-optic sensors, a parylene-mediated hybrid plasmonic-photonic cavity-based sensor was developed.

The metamaterial unit cell of the periodic structure array was simply composed of three non-overlapping cut wires with different length parameters on a flexible thin-film (parylene-C) to improve sensitivity. The biosensor sample was fabricated using a lithography process and characterized by a THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) system.
