An optofluidic system was constructed from a diode laser as the energy source, an aqueous
suspension of plasmonic nanostructures as the photothermal transducer, and a glass
capillary for measuring the volumetric expansion of the suspension. The suspension could
be driven to move up the capillary by more than 30 mm and be used to control the operation
of an electrical switch.
Abstract
An optofluidic system was constructed from a diode laser as the energy source, an aqueous suspension of plasmonic nanostructures as the photothermal transducer, and a glass capillary for measuring the volumetric expansion of the suspension. The suspension could be driven to move up the capillary by more than 30 mm and be used to control the operation of an electrical switch.
