Abstract
We propose an optically driven micromanipulator which operates on the basis of the photothermal effect and possesses some interesting characteristics, such as non-generation of magnetic noise and the ability of receiving energy remotely. The manipulator is composed of three optical fiber cantilevers which are cut in a bevel shape and painted with a photo-absorbent material attached on the angled edge of the fiber. The photothermal effect is used for moving the manipulator when the incident beam is introduced at the end of the optical fiber. The manipulator can manipulate samples and move them to arbitrary places in three-dimensional space.
