This book presents the innovative study on the local modification of surface wettability actuated by light by exploiting the photovoltaic properties of a photorefractive material, a lithium niobate crystal doped with iron. The project advances the first step towards the improvement of the already available electrowetting technology which uses electric voltages to manipulate aqueous droplets over metallic electrodes. The novel optowetting technique is aimed to get rid of fixed electrodes and hence to provide multi-purpose devices. Lithium niobate samples were properly selected and characterized...
