Abstract
In recent years, microdriven technology has attracted increasing attention because of the diversity of driving methods and their extensive applications. This paper proposes a technique of microstructure processing and rotation driving with the use of a femtosecond laser. Microrotor structures with diameters of 20—30 μm were prepared through two-photon polymerization, and then an optical field with an optical orbital angular momentum was modulated using a spatial light modulator to realize the rotation driving of the microrotor structure at a speed of 40 r/s. In addition, the paper presents the detailed experimental process and optimization parameters of the microrotor structure fabricated using the femtosecond-laser direct writing technology. Moreover, the propagation and focusing characteristics of a vortex beam with different topological charges generated through a spatial light modulator are studied and used to drive the clockwise and counterclockwise rotations of the rotor. This controllable light-driven technology has promising applications in the fields of microfluidics, optical tweezers, targeted drug delivery, and cell dynamics.
