Ring resonator (RR) devices are closed-loop waveguides where waves circulate only at the resonant frequencies. They have been used in sensor technology and optical tweezers, but controlling micron-scale particles with optical RR tweezers is challenging due to insufficient force, short working distances, and photodamage. To overcome these obstacles, an acoustofluidic RR-based tweezing method is developed to manipulate micro-sized particles that can enhance particle trapping through the resonance interaction of acoustic waves with high Q factor (>3000), more than 20 times greater than traditional acoustic transducers. Particles can be precisely manipulated within the RR by adjusting the signal phase, with trapping amplified by enlarging the connected waveguide. Rapid particle mixing is achieved when particles are placed between the waveguide and RR. The signal path is strengthened by strategically positioning the RR in a two-dimensional plane. Acoustofluidic RR tweezers have immense potential for advancing applications in biosensing, mechanobiology, lab-on-a-chip, and cell-cell communication research.
