We present a novel approach to the design and manufacture of optrodes for use in the biomedical research field of optogenetic neural interfacing. Using recently developed optical fiber drawing techniques that involve co-drawing metal/polymer composite fiber, we have assembled and characterized a novel optrode with promising optical and electrical functionality. The fabrication technique is flexible, scalable, and amenable to extension to implantable optrodes with high-density arrays of multiple electrodes, waveguides, and drug delivery channels.
我们提出了一种用于光遗传学神经接口生物医学研究领域的光电极设计与制造的新方法。利用最近开发的涉及共拉金属/聚合物复合纤维的光纤拉制技术，我们组装并表征了一种具有良好光学和电学功能的新型光电极。该制造技术灵活、可扩展，并且易于扩展到具有多个电极、波导和药物输送通道的高密度阵列的可植入光电极。
