Abstract
An actuator is comprised of a main body having an opening at its one side, an inner space defined within the main body and filled with an amount of thermally expansive gas, a substance for converting the light into the heat which is accommodated in the inner space, a guide device for guiding light into the second portion of the inner space, and a membrane connected to the side of the main body for closing the opening and deflected previously toward the inner space so as to establish a snap action toward outward of the main body when the inner pressure exceed a set value.
