Abstract

We report a complete design, fabrication procedure and functional tests of the first artificial gland based on a micro-machined evaporator. Presented device was used to precise release of chemicals into environment. Very high evaporation rates and temporal modulation of the chemical signal were achieved due to the temperature elevation and the geometry of the device. The ability to precise release of sex pheromones of the Spodoptera littoralis female moth allowed studies of the interactions with the live insects. As such, the presented chemoemitter pioneer a new information emission scheme utilizing the semiochemicals as a data carrier.
