[OMC8-01(Invited)] Single droplet formation with a focused near-infrared laser beam in the temperature responsive ionic liquid

*Ken-ichi Yuyama¹, Maho Tanaka¹, Yasuyuki Tsuboi¹ (1. Osaka Metropolitan University)

We demonstrate single droplet formation in a thermo-responsive ionic liquid/water mixture by optical tweezers with a focused near-infrared laser beam. Depending on local temperature, a single droplet is formed due to phase separation or trapping of nano-clusters.
