Liquid powered and cooled microfluidics photonics architecture

Abstract

A device may include a substrate. A device may include an electrical load supported by the substrate. A device may include a microfluidic volume disposed in the substrate. A device may include an electro-chemical fluid contained in the microfluidic volume, the electro-chemical fluid being configured to (i) generate an electrical current that powers the electrical load and (ii) absorb heat from the electrical load.
