We propose a new technique of manipulating a metal particle in borosilicate glass. A platinum film was deposited on the back surface of a glass plate and irradiated with a green CW laser beam through the glass. As a result, the platinum film was melted and implanted into the glass as a particle. The glass around the platinum particle heated by the laser illumination was softened, which enabled the platinum particle migration in the glass. Platinum particles with diameters of 3 to 50 μm migrated at the speeds up to 10 mm/s. In addition to platinum, nickel and austenitic stainless steel (SUS304) particles was able to be implanted.
