Fiberless Multicolor Optoelectrodes Using Injection Laser Diodes Grin Lens Coupled Optical Waveguides

Optogenetics uses light pulses to genetically express photosensitive proteins in specific cell types to study brain activity. This paper presents an integrated optoelectrode that can deliver multicolor light from an optical waveguide coupled to a mixer for spatial precision and scalability. The optoelectrode achieves a compact fiberless design by coupling a side-emitting injection laser diode through a GRIN lens to a dielectric channel waveguide, providing efficient thermal packaging to protect cells.

FIBERLESS MULTICOLOR OPTOELECTRODES

USING INJECTION LASER DIODES GRIN LENS


COUPLED OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES

ABSTRACT
Optogenetics is based on the genetic transfection of specific cell types
to express photosensitive proteins by using light pulses .This paper
presents integrated optoelectrode that can deliver multicolour light
from a waveguide coupled to an optical mixer .It can provide spatial
precision and scalability and thus allows the study of brain
activities.the implementation of fibreless optoelectrodes in a highly
compact form can be achieved by end fibre coupling between a side
emitting injection laser diode and a dielectric channel waveguide
through a GRIN lens.It provide an efficient thermal packaging and
thus protects the cells.
