Abstract

A method using electric field assisted glass sealing (anodic bonding) to create strong, adhesive-free optical cells using a thin layer of metal between two layers of glass. The cells can be used as simple optical cells, liquid or gas flow cells, and as acousto-optical flow cells, where acoustic standing waves are used within the flow cell.
