Herein, recent progress in fiber optofluidic lasers and their applications in biochemical detection are reviewed. The unique properties of optical fibers are introduced for the development of optofluidic microlasers, including high quality factor, small mode volume, high aspect ratio, high reproducibility, and low cost. Optical fiber microresonators based on Fabry-Pérot cavity, microring resonator or photonic bandgap cavity are highlighted to provide optical feedback for optofluidic lasing. For applications, the capability of fiber optofluidic lasers is emphasized to perform biochemical analysis with ultrahigh sensitivity, fast response, high throughput, and disposable optical biodetection. The challenges and prospects for fiber optofluidic lasers are also discussed.

“…For example, metal or dielectric films, or even two surfaces with Fresnel reflections at optical fiber end-face can be used for the formation of the FP cavity. Figure 1(a) shows the fiber FP cavity proposed by Zhou et al [23]. It was achieved by coating a gold film on the end-faces of single-mode fibers using a physical vapor deposition method.…”

“…In addition, the laser wavelength can be modulated by the optical property of organic dye, e.g., the reabsorption effect. By adjusting the cavity length of the fiber FP cavity from 3 mm to 20 mm, the laser wavelength can be shifted by 18 nm [23]. Similarly, the RI of dye solution would influence the resonance properties of the optical fiber microcavities and thus induce the spectral shift of lasing [57,58].…”

Fiber optofluidic laser (FOFL) integrates optical fiber microcavity and microfluidic channel and provides many unique advantages for sensing applications. FOFLs not only inherit the advantages of lasers such as high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio, and narrow linewidth, but also hold the unique features of optical fiber, including ease of integration, high repeatability, and low cost. With the development of new fiber structures and fabrication technologies, FOFLs become an important branch of optical fiber sensors, especially for application in biochemical detection. In this paper, the recent progress on FOFL is reviewed. We focuse mainly on the optical fiber resonators, gain medium, and the emerging sensing applications. The prospects for FOFL are also discussed. We believe that the FOFL sensor provides a promising technology for biomedical analysis and environmental monitoring.

“…25 Recently, wavelength tunable dye laser was also achieved by changing the translation stage with Au-coated end face of single-mode fiber easily. 26 In this paper, we present an on-chip optofluidic dye laser with a 5-mm-long path length F-P cavity formed by two Aucoated end faces of commercial multimode fibers. The chip is fabricated by soft lithography 27,28 with PDMS.…”

We demonstrate a chip-scale tunable optofluidic dye laser with Au-coated fibers as microcavity. The chip is fabricated by soft lithography. When the active region is pumped, a relatively low threshold of 6.7 μJ∕mm 2 is realized with multimode emission due to good confinement of the cavity mirrors, long active region, as well as total reflectivity. It is easy to tune the lasing emission wavelength by changing the solvent of laser dye. In addition, the various intensity ratios of multicolor lasing can be achieved by controlling flow rates of two fluid streams carried with different dye molecules. Furthermore, the convenience in fabrication and directional lasing emission outcoupled by the fiber make the tunable optofluidic dye laser a promising underlying coherent light source in the integrated optofluidic systems.
