ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for moving a particle using a device comprising a substrate (4), a wave guide (2) and a grating (6) formed on the wave guide, in which:light with wavelength λ is injected into the wave guide,the light transmitted through the guide is diffracted to a medium (14) with an index nsup in which the particle is located.
