Design and Modeling of Microfluidic Channel in a Dielectric Planar Waveguide Using Cosmol Multiphysics

Integration of Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) with integrated optics is known as Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEOMS). There is a wide development happening in the Lab-On-a-Chip fabrication industry for bio-medical application. In this paper we demonstrate simulation and modeling microfluidic channel embedded in a dielectric planar waveguide. As a fluid constituent the core of the waveguide is made up of glass and cladding consists of air. The model designed can be used as Refractive Index based sensor. In this simulation velocity is kept constant throughout the microfluidic channel. The pressure at the inlet is higher compared to the outlet.
