Abstract: The dynamic response of different micro-beams after laser excitation experiments have been investigated in this paper. The impact force that induces the vibration of micro-beams is the interaction of focused pulse laser and tested beams. The impact response of micro-beams after being excited is measured by Laser Doppler Vibrometer. Different beams such as cantilever beam, L-shaped beam are employed in our experiments. Comparisons of the vibration velocity and its frequencies of different beams have also been performed. Experimental results show that the mechanical effects of laser shock do really exist and can be utilized.

Abstract: A new driven pattern is proposed in this paper, which is based on laser shock wave and outstand in high energy efficiency, remote control, wireless and directionality. We describe the working principle of the laser shock wave driven pattern in detail. Furthermore, by a copper irradiated cantilever beam, the vibration state driven in different laser conditions is investigated with simulation and experiment, corresponding numeral analysis is performed to assess the driven effect.

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel approach for micropump driven, namely laser shock wave, with the advantages of high energy efficiency, remote control and wireless energy supply. The pump used here has the characteristics of simple structure, easy fabrication and low cost comparing to the traditional micropump. Firstly, a valveless micropump was designed and then manufactured through lithography and bonding. Secondly, modal analysis of the fluid-structure coupling system, i.e. micropump, was calculated, and the first natural frequency was chosen as the frequency of the laser pulse. Finally, experiments were done to validate the feasibility of the driving mode. Results show the new driving mode works well and may provide an alternative approach for microsystem driven.
