Abstract
A focused optical input signal is applied to an optically absorbent wall portion of one of two convergent supply nozzles in a fluidic device to reduce the thickness of the flow boundary layer. The boundary layer reduction deflects the combined nozzle discharge to achieve a desired output from the device.
