Analyzer and method for sensing using the same

摘要

An analyzer is disclosed herein. The analyzer encompasses a substrate having a surface with a plurality of distinct V-grooves formed therein. An input flow channel is configured to intersect and fluidly communicate with each of the plurality of distinct V-grooves at respective input points, and an output flow channel is configured to intersect and fluidly communicate with each of the plurality of distinct V-grooves at respective output points.

1. An analyzer, comprising:
a substrate having a surface; a plurality of distinct V-grooves formed in the substrate surface, each of the V-grooves having two opposed ends and to carry a sample containing at least one species; an input flow channel configured to intersect and fluidly communicate with each of the plurality of distinct V-grooves at respective input points; an output flow channel configured to intersect and fluidly communicate with each of the plurality of distinct V-grooves at respective output points; a plurality of input fibers, each input fiber physically connected to one of the two opposed ends of a respective one of the plurality of distinct V-grooves, and each input fiber configured to direct light into the respective one of the plurality of distinct V-grooves; and a plurality of output fibers, each output fiber physically connected to an opposite of the two opposed ends of the respective one of the plurality of distinct V-grooves, and each output fiber configured to direct light out of the respective one of the plurality of distinct V-grooves.
