Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical device is described for irradiating at least one object in a medium. The optical device may be a microfluidics device, and comprises at least one integrated planar waveguide that enables providing sheet irradiation of objects in the medium. A characterization system including such an optical device and a corresponding method of characterizing an object or a fluid are described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An optical device for irradiating at least one object in a medium, the optical device comprising at least one integrated planar waveguide arranged to provide sheet irradiation in a measurement region; wherein the at least one integrated waveguide defining an irradiation sheet has a height in a first direction perpendicular to the propagation direction of radiation in the at least one integrated waveguide, the height being at least three times smaller…
