Visible Wavelength PICs for Fluorescent Microscopy and Flow Cytometry

Abstract

We present two multi-color laser engines for fluorescent confocal microscopy and polychromatic flow cytometry implemented in silicon nitride PICs. Besides miniaturization PICs facilitate structured illumination used here to distinguish fluorescent signals by excitation wavelength.
