摘要

Particle manipulation through the transfer of light or sound momentum has emerged as a powerful technique with immense potential in various fields, including cell biology, microparticle assembly, and lab-on-chip technology. Here, we present a novel method called Programmable Photoacoustic Manipulation (PPAM) of microparticles in liquid, which enables rapid and precise arrangement and controllable transport of numerous silica particles in water. Our approach leverages the modulation of pulsed laser using digital micromirror devices (DMD) to generate localized Lamb waves in a stainless steel membrane and acoustic waves in water. The particles undergo a mechanical force of about several µN due to membrane vibrations and an acoustic radiation force of about tens of nN from the surrounding water. Consequently, this approach surpasses the efficiency of optical tweezers by effectively countering the viscous drag imposed by water and can be used to move thousands of particles on the membrane. The high power of the pulsed laser and the programmability of the DMD enhance the flexibility in particle manipulation. By integrating the benefits of optical and acoustic manipulation, this technique holds great promise for advancing large-scale manipulation, cell assembly, and drug delivery.
