Dynamic Holographic Optical Tweezers

چکیده
Optical trapping is an increasingly important technique for controlling and probing the structure of matter at length scales ranging from nanometers to millimeters. This Article describes methods for creating large numbers of high-quality optical traps in arbitrary three-dimensional configurations and dynamically reconfiguring them under computer control. The resulting traps’ unique capacity for reorganizing mesoscopically textured matter promises exciting new opportunities for research, engineering, diagnostics, and manufacturing.

Minimizing intensity fluctuations in dynamic holographic optical tweezers by restricted phase change.
We present a method for reducing intensity fluctuations that typically occur when a spatial light modulator is updated between consecutive computer generated holograms. The method is applicable to most iterative hologram generating algorithms and minimizes the average phase difference between consecutive holograms. Applications with high stability requirements, such as optical force measurement...

متن کاملControlling ghost traps in holographic optical tweezers.
Computer-generated holograms displayed by phase-modulating spatial light modulators have become a well-established tool for beam shaping purposes in holographic optical tweezers. Still, the generation of light intensity patterns with high spatial symmetry and simultaneously without interfering ghost traps is a challenge. We have implemented an iterative Fourier transform algorithm that is capab...
