The actuation principle is based on a recently explored “topological” displacement mode of piezo sheets. The prototypes presented here include a rotationally symmetric axicon, a hyperbolic sech-icon and a non-symmetric pyram-icon and are scalable to smaller dimensions. The fabrication process is economic and cleanroom-free, and the optical quality is sufficient to demonstrate the diffraction patterns of the optical elements.","PeriodicalId":6334,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics (OMN)","volume":"78 1","pages":"157-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77311817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A SU-8 layer was used for a channel structure and planar waveguide for NIR laser beam. Our experimental results showed the effective particle transportation in the polymer chip instead of the irradiation of 2W beam that could easily damage the chip with the normally focused condition.","PeriodicalId":6334,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics (OMN)","volume":"10 1","pages":"125-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74353244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
