Simulation of superresolution holography for optical tweezers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Optical tweezers manipulate microscopic particles using foci of light beams. Their performance is therefore limited by diffraction. Using computer simulations of a model system, we investigate the application of superresolution holography for two ...

Force measurements with optical tweezers inside living cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The force exerted by optical tweezers can be measured by tracking the momentum changes of the trapping beam, a method which is more general and powerful than traditional calibration techniques as it is based on first principles, but which has not been ...

Generation of Hybrid Optical Trap Array by Holographic Optical Tweezers

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
Enabled by multiple optical traps, holographic optical tweezers can manipulate multiple particles in parallel flexibly. Spatial light modulators are widely used in holographic optical tweezers, in which Gaussian point (GP) trap arrays or special mode ...

Influence of Laser Intensity Fluctuation on Single-Cesium Atom Trapping Lifetime in a 1064-nm Microscopic Optical Tweezer

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
An optical tweezer composed of a strongly focused single-spatial-mode Gaussian beam of a red-detuned 1064-nm laser can confine a single-cesium (Cs) atom at the strongest point of the light intensity.

Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Verification of the Influence of Polarization on Counter-Propagating Optical Tweezers

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
Counter-propagating optical tweezers are experimental platforms for the frontier exploration of science and precision measurement. The polarization of the trapping beams significantly affects the trapping status. Using the T-matrix method, we numerically

Accounting for polarization in the calibration of a donut beam axial optical tweezers. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Advances in light shaping techniques are leading to new tools for optical trapping and micromanipulation. For example, optical tweezers made from Laguerre-Gaussian or donut beams display an increased axial trap strength and can impart angular momentum to
