Abstract
In this Letter, a series of magnetically driven micro-optical choppers based on customized photoresist were fabricated by two-photon polymerization (TPP) technology. Synthetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were modified and dispersed in the original photoresist to achieve magnetic field response. After accurately formulating a magnetic photoresist containing Rhodamine B to reduce the light transmittance, four micro-optical choppers with different slot widths were printed using optimized processing parameters. The micro-optical choppers were remotely manipulated to rotate by the external magnetic field. More importantly, the function demonstration of the micro-optical choppers with an excellent chopping effect was achieved at a given light wavelength of 515 nm. The magnetically driven micro-optical choppers provide a new approach, to the best of our knowledge, for the fabrication of external field-responsive optical components.
