We propose and demonstrate a light-induced micro-vibrator that can perform an adjustable reciprocating vibration based on the Δα-typed photophoretic force. The vibration amplitudes and periods can be precisely controlled and modulated in real-time, and the maximum average restoring speed is as high as 23.26 μm/s. In addition, by using the self-healing properties of the Bessel-like beam, we achieve the simultaneous driving and modulating of three absorbing micro-vibrators. The proposed absorbing micro-vibrator can be used as a novel light-driven micromotor, which is considered to have potential application value in the field of targeted drug delivery, biosensing, and environmental detection.
