Semiconductor lasers able to emit over the full visible color spectrum have a wide range of practical applications such as solid-state lighting, full-color displays, visible color communications, and multi-color fluorescence sensing. To the human eye, light with a mixture of four monochromatic lasers is visually equivalent to a white illuminant. Current...

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has great potential for sensitive and selective nucleic acid analysis in resource-limited settings. Amplifications can be easily observed via optical means such as colorimetry which combines robust performance and simple instrumentation. To date, microfluidic approaches based on colorimetric detection have...
