End view of photonic bandgap fiber. Typical diameter of the central core is ~10 microns. The honeycomb structure serves as a diffractive element that confines light in a certain range of wavelengths. We are using photonic bandgap fibers in conjuction with microfluidic chemical synthesis to enable novel optical devices.
An image (using fluorescence microscopy) of chondrocytes seeded into an engineered tissue matrix. We are studying the growth and matrix synthesis of these cells in response to varying physicochemical stimuli, particularly electrokinetic effects associated with physiological loading.
