AbstractChemically synthesized metal nanowires are promising building blocks for next-generation photonic integrated circuits, but technological implementation in monolithic integration will be severely hampered by the lack of controllable and precise manipulation approaches, due to the strong adhesion of nanowires to substrates in non-liquid environments. Here, we demonstrate this obstacle can be removed by our proposed earthworm-like peristaltic crawling motion mechanism, based on the synergistic expansion, friction, and contraction in plasmon-driven metal nanowires in non-liquid environments. The evanescently excited surface plasmon greatly enhances the heating effect in metal nanowires, thereby generating surface acoustic waves to drive the nanowires crawling along silica microfibres. Advantages include sub-nanometer positioning accuracy, low actuation power, and self-parallel parking. We further demonstrate on-chip manipulations including transporting, positioning, orientation, and sorting, with on-situ operation, high selectivity, and great versatility. Our work paves the way to realize full co-integration of various functionalized photonic components on single chips.

High-frequency surface acoustic waves (SAW) were generated and transmitted along single-crystal lithium niobate (LiNbO3). The standing surface waves (SSAW) formed between two parallel inter-digital transducers (IDTs) on a LiNbO3 substrate, were employed to drive the micro-drop mixer. An SSAW device was designed, micro-machined and tested. When an AC signal with the frequency of 61.4MHz was applied to the IDTs, vortex appeared in the drop consisted of two incompatible liquid (ink and glycerol). The evolution of the vortex was recorded in this work. With the evolution of the vortex, mixing process of two incompatible liquid has been demonstrated. The mixer is of significant relevance for many bio-technological applications and in particular for lab-on-chip. While the experimental liquids were mutually incompatible, the ink could only be divided into smaller drops.
