Abstract

A simple optical interference method for creating multiple optical tweezers from a single laser beam, using two dimentional photonic crystals (PhCs) as a diffractive beam splitter, was described. To obtained clear periodic traps, all diffracted beams sould be used and the intensity of each splitted beam should be same. So the period and the surface features of PhCs was adjusted in the present study As a demonstration of this technique, using 2D PhCs with 700 nanometer period, hexagonal lattice patterns with one micrometer period have been implemented. The image of periodic intensity gradient of light fabricated by this method is presented.
