Abstract

We designed novel cycloid-structured optical tweezers based on a modified cycloid and holographic shaping techniques. The optical tweezers realize all the dynamic characteristics of the trapped particles, including start, stop, and variable-velocity motions along versatile trajectories. The superiority of the tweezers is experimentally verified using polystyrene micro-sphere manipulation. This work provides a novel platform for more complex manipulations of particles.
