In electrolyte solutions such as aqueous NaOH solutions, gallium-based liquid metals maintain “high surface tension” and “excellent optical properties due to metallic luster. In addition, it is expected to be used for microfluidic and optical devices because of its “electrical transfer characteristics” by the application of voltage. In our group, we have proposed and reported new concepts for optical devices utilizing the properties of gallium-based liquid metals. In this paper, we report on the measurement results of the response time of our previously proposed liquid metal optical device (Light Beam Control Device, LBCD).
