Particle tracking stereomicroscopy in optical tweezers: control of trap shape.
We present an optical system capable of generating stereoscopic images to track trapped particles in three dimensions. Two-dimensional particle tracking on each image yields three dimensional position information. Our approach allows the use of a high numerical aperture (NA=1.3) objective and large separation angle, such that particles can be tracked axially with resolution of 3 nm at 340 Hz. S...
متن کاملOn chip shapeable optical tweezers
Particles manipulation with optical forces is known as optical tweezing. While tweezing in free space with laser beams was established in the 1980s, integrating the optical tweezers on a chip is a challenging task. Recent experiments with plasmonic nanoantennas, microring resonators, and photonic crystal nanocavities have demonstrated optical trapping. However, the optical field of a tweezer ma...
متن کاملTwo-particle quantum interference in tunnel-coupled optical tweezers.
The quantum statistics of atoms is typically observed in the behavior of an ensemble via macroscopic observables. However, quantum statistics modifies the behavior of even two particles. Here, we demonstrate near-complete control over all the internal and external degrees of freedom of two laser-cooled (87)Rb atoms trapped in two optical tweezers. This controllability allows us to observe signa...
متن کاملStretching DNA with optical tweezers.
Force-extension (F-x) relationships were measured for single molecules of DNA under a variety of buffer conditions, using an optical trapping interferometer modified to incorporate feedback control. One end of a single DNA molecule was fixed to a coverglass surface by means of a stalled RNA polymerase complex. The other end was linked to a microscopic bead, which was captured and held in an opt...
متن کاملOptical Tweezers
An optical tweezers apparatus uses a tightly focused laser to generate a trapping force that can capture and move small particles under a microscope. Because it can precisely and non-destructively manipulate objects such as individual cells and their internal components, the optical tweezers is extremely useful in biological physics research. In this experiment the student will use optical twee...
