AB  - In this work we demonstrate an integrated microfluidic/photonic architecture for 
      performing dynamic optofluidic trapping and transport of particles in the 
      evanescent field of solid core waveguides. Our architecture consists of SU-8 
      polymer waveguides combined with soft lithography defined poly(dimethylsiloxane) 
      (PDMS) microfluidic channels. The forces exerted by the evanescent field result 
      in both the attraction of particles to the waveguide surface and propulsion in 
      the direction of optical propagation both perpendicular and opposite to the 
      direction of pressure-driven flow. Velocities as high as 28 mum/s were achieved 
      for 3 mum diameter polystyrene spheres with an estimated 53.5 mW of guided 
      optical power at the trapping location. The particle-size dependence of the 
      optical forces in such devices is also characterized.
