Photoinduced Suppression of Superconductivity in   Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+\delta}$
  Superconductivity in high temperature superconductors is achieved by introducing charge carriers into cuprate insulators containing CuO$_2$ planes. Perturbation in these CuO$_2$ planes suppresses superconductivity by strongly affecting the electronic environment. Here we have use photoinduced electronic modification of Cu ion in CuO$_2$ plane to investigate the effect of local perturbation in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+\delta}$. This method has been used to suppress superconducting transition temperature T$_c$. We show that our results on photoinduced suppression of superconductivity are consistent with a scenario based on pinning of fluctuating stripes in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{10+\delta}$.
