摘要
We report an optical actuation mechanism, floating electrode optoelectronic tweezers (FEOET). FEOET enables light-driven transport of aqueous droplets immersed in electrically insulating oil on a featureless photoconductive glass layer with direct optical images. We demonstrate that a 681 mu m de-ionized water droplet immersed in corn oil medium is actuated by a 3.21 mu W laser beam with an average intensity as low as 4.08 mu W/mm(2) at a maximum speed of 85.1 mu m/s on a FEOET device. FEOET provides a promising platform for massively parallel droplet manipulation with optical images on low cost, silicon-coated glass. The FEOET device structure, fabrication, working principle, numerical simulations, and operational results are presented in this letter. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
