Abstract
The speed of optical transportation of microparticles was modified by changing dissipative force acting on the particles through the switching of the absorption spectrum of molecules contained in the particles. Linear and orbital motions of microparticles in water were achieved by using slightly focused laser beams. Polymer microparticles containing photo-chromic molecules under the photoirradiation configuration were transported by the optical force due to scattering. The transportation speed was increased by changing the color of the particles by the photoinduced isomerization from transparent (non-resonant) to resonant with the manipulation beams.
