Abstract
A method and system for manipulating object using a three dimensional optical trap configuration. By use of selected hologram on optical strap can be configured as a preselected three dimensional configuration for a variety of complex uses. The system can include various optical train components, such as partially transmissive mirrors and Keplerian telescope components to provide advantageously three dimensional optical traps.
Claims20
A method of obtaining a cross-section of the trapping intensity of trapping light, comprising the steps of:
- providing an optical train;
- providing a beam of light to the optical train;
- applying a predetermined hologram to the beam of light to generate trapping light;
- reflecting the trapping light off a mirror;
- and
- obtaining a cross-section of trapping intensity of the trapping light from the reflected light.
