We present two innovative design concepts of integrated flexible neural probe for deep brain optical stimulation and
electrical recording, termed as “optitrode”. In the first one, a hybrid annular light pipe is built around a tetrode by V-groove guided capillary assembly (VGCA), by which a single or multiple microwires can be packaged inside the light
pipe with high precision. In the second design, thin-film microelectrodes and wires are patterned on an optical fiber by proximity ion beam lithography. These designs address a major limitation on the length-to-diameter ratio, achieving > 500 (>5 cm long, <100 μm diameter). The highly flexible nature of optitrode could be critical for minimally-invasive implantation as well as long-term operation.
