Abstract EN

Droplet-based (digital) microfluidics has been demonstrated in many lab-on-a-chip applications due to its free cross-contamination and no dispersion nature.

Droplet manipulation mechanisms are versatile, and each has unique advantages and limitations.

Recently, the idea of manipulating droplets with light beams either through optical forces or light-induced physical mechanisms has attracted some interests, since light can achieve 3D addressing, carry high energy density for high speed actuation, and be patterned and dynamically reconfigured to generate a large number of light beams for massively parallel manipulation.

This paper reviews recent developments of various optical technologies for droplet manipulation and their applications in lab-on-a-chip.
