Manipulation and assembly of nanowires with holographic optical traps.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Position and Intensity Modulations in Holographic Optical Traps Created by a Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulator
The addressing of the liquid crystals in spatial light modulators gives rise to temporal modulation of the phase pattern. Here we investigate the effect of this on the intensity and position of holographic optical traps. We use high-speed camera imaging of the laser spots back-reflected off the sample cover slip to determine the integrated pixel intensity and track the position of a laser spot....
متن کاملAssembly of 3-dimensional structures using programmable holographic optical tweezers.
The micromanipulation of objects into 3-dimensional geometries within holographic optical tweezers is carried out using modified Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) and direct binary search (DBS) algorithms to produce the hologram designs. The algorithms calculate sequences of phase holograms, which are implemented using a spatial light modulator, to reconfigure the geometries of optical traps in many planes...
متن کاملPositional stability of holographic optical traps.
The potential of digital holography for complex manipulation of micron-sized particles with optical tweezers has been clearly demonstrated. By contrast, its use in quantitative experiments has been rather limited, partly due to fluctuations introduced by the spatial light modulator (SLM) that displays the kinoforms. This is an important issue when high temporal or spatial stability is a concern...
متن کاملSpatial light modulator considerations for beam control in optical manipulation applications
Holographic beam forming to generate and control multiple optical traps has proved successful using high-resolution spatial light modulators (SLMs). This type of beam control allows a multitude of traps to be independently controlled in three dimensions. Also, exotic beam shapes and profiles can be generated, which gives the optical trapping system even greater flexibility. Until recently, the ...
متن کاملVolumetric 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 ...
