Novel SU-8 optical waveguide microgripper for simultaneous micromanipulation and optical detection

Abstract

A novel microgripper device structure with optical waveguides as arms is presented. The devices shown here have waveguide dimensions of 50×30μm2. The device fabrication, using SU-8 polymer, is described. Its capability to perform micromanipulation while simultaneously carrying out optical detection is demonstrated.
