Abstract
Disclosed herein is a fully flexible photonic platform based on a high density, flexible array of ultra-compact optical waveguides composed of biocompatible polymers Parylene C and PDMS. The photonic platform features unique embedded input/output micro-mirrors that redirect light from the waveguides perpendicularly to the surface of the array for localized, patterned illumination in tissue. This architecture enables the design of a fully flexible, compact integrated photonic system to realize an implantable, wearable or on-chip photonic platform for application such as in vivo chronic optogenetic stimulation of brain activity.
