  1. The flow rates are (a) Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 = 1 μl/min, (b) Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 = 12.5 μl/min, (c) Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 = 37 μl/min, (d) Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 = 63 μl/min, (e) Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 = 95 μl/min, (f) Q1 = Q2 = Q3 = Q4 = 135 μl/min. These cross sections are located in the junction of the device. The reconfiguration processes of the 3D optofluidic branch waveguide can be illustrated by the six typical states from low flow rate to high flow rate.
