Description

This paper illustrates a liquid mixing device that generates ultrasonic waves through shining pulse laser of a Gold implanted fiber optic cable and uses the laser streaming to accomplish the mixing liquids with different viscosities in centrifuge tube. Pure gold nanoparticles were implanted beneath the surface of the glass fiber optics cable. The pulse laser (527nm wavelength) was used to generate the liquid jet out of the tips of Au implanted glass fiber optics cable. The mixing experiment was done using Au-implanted optics tip suspension in centrifuge tubes of two different viscous liquids. Here we have investigated the behavior of laser streaming, after and before heat treatment of the Au-implanted quartz plate, and how the speed of the laser streaming varies with the viscosity of the solution.
