Optrode comprising two silicon probe shafts with two out of the four laser diode chips being operated.

The conference contribution presents an innovative MEMS device with optoelectrical functionality to be applied in neuroscientific basic research. It enables the simultaneous optical stimulation of brain tissue using integrated laserdiode chips interfacing optical waveguides and neural recording by the integrated electrode array. These so-called optrodes, i.e. miniaturized electrode enabling optical stimulation of neural tissue represent the technical interfaces required in optogenetics.

Co-authors of this paper are Karsten Seidl, Prof. Ulrich Schwarz, Prof. Oliver Paul and Dr. Patrick Ruther.
