Abstract
There is provided a device () for collecting fluorescent light () emitted by particles () in a medium (). The device () comprises a substrate () having a chamber () for holding the medium () including the particles () being capable of emitting fluorescent light (). A first waveguide (), which is arranged to receive and guide excitation light along a first direction (), extends through the chamber (). Fluorescent light () emitted by the particles () following an excitation is collected by the first waveguide (). The device () further comprises a coupler () which includes a second waveguide () arranged to output collected fluorescent light () at one of its ends (). The second waveguide () is arranged in relation to the first waveguide () such that collected fluorescent light () travelling in a direction opposite to the first direction () is coupled out from the first waveguide () directly into the second waveguide ().
