Abstract

Summary form only given. Optical trapping of micron-size dielectric microspheres using a single beam gradient force was first demonstrated by Ashkin in 1986. Since then, extensive research and development of this technique have turned it into a practical device (known as optical tweezers), which has been used in a wide variety of biological and biomedical applications. In this paper, we report the first experimental observation, we believe, of trapping and manipulation of dielectric particles by a set of two-beam interference fringes.

Highlights

  • Powered by the California Digital Library University of California vibrational resonances in ZnTe and is expected to be less transducer

  • Using a single beam to project a reduced image of aRonchi ruling at the focal plane of the microscope objective (Fig. 1c)

  • The fringes are shifted by translating the Ronchi ruling
