Appl. No.:

11/473398

Inventors:

David Grier - New York NY, US
Kosta Ladavac - Cambridge MA, US
Joy Barker - Albuquerque NM, US

International Classification:

G03H 1/00

US Classification:

359001000

Abstract:

A system and method for bonding and unbonding of small objects using small adhesive particles. The system and method includes the use of a plurality of optical tweezers to manipulate objects to be bonded and adhesive particles suspended in a fluid. The objects to be bonded (or unbonded) and the adhesive particles are positioned by lower power optical tweezers and then an intense bonding optical tweezer is activated to cause the adhesive to join the objects together (or used to unbond objects).
