Optimized holographic optical traps.

چکیده
Holographic optical traps use the forces exerted by computer-generated holograms to trap, move and otherwise transform mesoscopically textured materials. This article introduces methods for optimizing holographic optical traps' efficiency and accuracy, and an optimal statistical approach for characterizing their performance. This combination makes possible real-time adaptive optimization.

Volumetric imaging of holographic optical traps.
The holographic optical trapping technique creates arbitrary three-dimensional configurations of optical traps, each with individually specified characteristics. Holographic modification of the individual traps' wavefronts can transform conventional point-like optical tweezers into traps with different structures and properties, and can position them independently in three dimensions. Here, we ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional holographic ring traps
We describe a class of diffractive optical elements intended for use in holographic optical trapping systems that project ring-like optical traps. Unlike optical vortex traps, which carry orbital angular momentum, these ring-like traps implement a force-free one-dimensional potential energy well for micrometer scale objects. Also unlike most optical vortices or ring-like Bessel beams, these rin...
متن کاملHolographic optical trapping.
Holographic optical tweezers use computer-generated holograms to create arbitrary three-dimensional configurations of single-beam optical traps that are useful for capturing, moving, and transforming mesoscopic objects. Through a combination of beam-splitting, mode-forming, and adaptive wavefront correction, holographic traps can exert precisely specified and characterized forces and torques on...
متن کاملManipulation and assembly of nanowires with holographic optical traps.
We demonstrate that semiconductor nanowires can be translated, rotated, cut, fused and organized into nontrivial structures using holographic optical traps. The holographic approach to nano-assembly allows for simultaneous independent manipulation of multiple nanowires, including relative translation and relative rotation.
متن کاملPerformance of optical traps with geometric aberrations
We assess the influence of geometric aberrations on optical traps’ in-plane performance by studying the dynamics of trapped colloidal spheres in deliberately distorted holographic optical tweezers. The traps’ lateral stiffness turns out to be insensitive to moderate amounts of coma, astigmatism and spherical aberration. Moreover, holographic aberration correction enables us to compensate inhere...
