Increasing trap stiffness with position clamping in holographic optical tweezers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present a holographic optical tweezers system capable of position clamping multiple particles. Moving an optical trap in response to the trapped object's motion is a powerful technique for optical control and force measurement.

Computer generated holography with intensity-graded patterns

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Computer Generated Holography achieves patterned illumination at the sample plane through phase modulation of the laser beam at the objective back aperture. This is obtained by using liquid crystal-based spatial light modulators (LC-SLMs), which modulate

Manipulation and assembly of nanowires with holographic optical traps

open access: yes, 2005
We demonstrate that semiconductor nanowires measuring just a few nanometers in diameter can be translated, rotated, cut, fused and organized into nontrivial structures using holographic optical traps.

Orbital angular momentum 25 years on [invited] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Twenty-five years ago Allen, Beijersbergen, Spreeuw, and Woerdman published their seminal paper establishing that light beams with helical phase-fronts carried an orbital angular momentum. Previously orbital angular momentum had been associated only with

Thermally induced micro-motion by inflection in optical potential

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Recent technological progress in a precise control of optically trapped objects allows much broader ventures to unexplored territory of thermal motion in non-linear potentials.

Polygonal micro-whirlpools induced in ferrofluids

open access: yes, 2015
We report on the observation of the polygonal whirlpools in the thin layer of ferrofluid under illumination with a laser beam carrying optical vortex and in the presence of a vertical magnetic field. This kind of structures have attracted attention after

Assembly and force measurement with SPM-like probes in holographic optical tweezers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report a high fidelity tomographic reconstruction of the quantum state of photon pairs generated by parametric down-conversion with orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement.

Multi-beam bilateral teleoperation of holographic optical tweezers

open access: yesOptics Express, 2012
A multi-beam bilateral teleoperation system of holographic optical tweezers accelerated by a graphics processing unit is proposed and evaluated. This double-arm teleoperation system is composed of two haptic devices and two laser-trapped micro-beads. Each micro-bead is trapped and moved following the trajectory of each haptic device, and the forces to ...

Progress in Phase Calibration for Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
Phase-only Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) is one of the most widely used devices for phase modulation. It has been successfully applied in the field with requirements of precision phase modulation such as holographic display, optical tweezers, lithography,

Optical tweezers: wideband microrheology

open access: yes, 2010
Microrheology is a branch of rheology having the same principles as conventional bulk rheology, but working on micron length scales and micro-litre volumes.
