    摘要: A Mach-Zehnder interferometer for performing an optical function on a plurality of optical fibers is provided. The interferometer includes a first cane segment surrounding the optical fibers. The first cane segment forms a first optical coupling region. The interferometer also includes a second cane segment surrounding the optical fibers. The second cane segment forms a second optical coupling region. A phase shift region is formed by a discontinuity between the first and second cane segments for exposing the optical fibers. The optical fibers are suspended between the first and second cane segments within the phase shift region. A substrate is provided for supporting the optical fibers within the phase shift region.

    摘要: A fluid handling system for transferring fluids is disclosed. The fluid handling system incorporates a plurality of transfer units for dispensing and/or collecting fluids as part of a closed analytical system. The plurality of transfer units are capable of functioning independently and/or collectively when assembled in a unitary array format. Methods of making and using the fluid handling system are also disclosed. The fluid handling system allows a sub-array of transfer units to shift in a vertical direction independent from a position of another sub-array of transfer units that are assembled within the same fluid head. Therefore, the fluid handling system facilitates multi-port fluid delivery and collection in an array format. Further, the fluid handling system aligned with a sensing surface enables label-free detection assays to be performed in an analytical system.

    摘要: A method for mechanically stripping the protective coating from a silica or glass optical fiber using a polymeric or soft metal blade having a hardness less than that of the glass optical fiber but greater than the protective coating. The blade is preferably selected from a group of polymeric materials, or alternately a soft metal, which is selected or treated so as to not detrimentally oxidize in conventional operating environments. For a silica-containing optical fiber, the blade has a hardness of less than approximately 125 on the Knoop hardness scale, and preferably less than approximately 60 on the Knoop hardness scale. A method of inhibiting damage to the exposed region of the silica-containing optical fiber comprises applying a substance that forms a protective layer to provide a barrier to particulates and moisture, and which does not inhibit subsequent processing of the optical fiber, selected from a group of silane-containing compounds.
