Abstract:Photostrictive materials, such as PLZT, which have the ability to convert high-energy light into mechanical motion, are emerging as new actuation materials. In contrast to the conventional transducers, photostrictive materials can produce actuation strains resulting from irradiation from certain wavelength light, which are immune from the electromagnetic interferences. And this photo-driven process is the photodeformation effect. In this paper, characteristics of the photodeformation effect are calibrated. The… Show more
