Abstract

The manufacturing technique of a millimetric sizes cantilever from photo-driven azobenzene polymer is described. The cantilever oscillations under the influence of laser radiation are studied. The possibility of making a micron-sized cantilever by a femtosecond laser initiated two-photon polymerization technique is shown. Such cantilever can become the basis for a high sensitive sensor, controlled directly by light.
