چکیده
We describe a setup for addressable optical trapping in which a laser source is focused on a digital micromirror device and generates an optical trap in a microfluidic cell. In this paper, we report a proof-of-principle single beam/single micromirror/single three-dimensional trap arrangement that should serve as the basis for a multiple-trap instrument.

Individual particle handling in a microfluidic system based on parallel laser trapping.
We present an optical trapping system combining individually addressable multiple laser traps with fluorescence spectroscopy. An in-line set of 64 near-IR laser diodes is used to create a line of individually addressable traps inside a microfluidic chip. This system is completed by an excitation/detection line for spectrally resolved fluorescence imaging of trapped particles. Highly parallel tr...
متن کاملParallel transport of biological cells using individually addressable VCSEL arrays as optical tweezers
We have demonstrated the use of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) for optical trapping and active manipulation of live biological cells and microspheres. We have experimentally verified that the Laguerre–Gaussian laser mode output from the VCSEL functions just as well as the traditional Gaussian fundamental laser mode for optically trapping biological cells and may be preferable ...
متن کاملToward the Stable Optical Trapping of a Droplet with Counter Laser Beams under Microgravity
To identify the optimum conditions for the optical trapping of a droplet under microgravity, we theoretically analyzed the efficiency of trapping with counter laser beams. We found that the distance between the two foci is an important parameter for obtaining stable trapping conditions. We also performed an optical trapping experiment with counter laser beams under microgravity. The experimenta...
متن کاملSynaptic organic transistors with a vacuum-deposited charge-trapping nanosheet
Organic neuromorphic devices hold great promise for unconventional signal processing and efficient human-machine interfaces. Herein, we propose novel synaptic organic transistors devised to overcome the traditional trade-off between channel conductance and memory performance. A vacuum-processed, nanoscale metallic interlayer provides an ultra-flat surface for a high-mobility molecular film as w...
متن کاملOptoelectrical microfluidics as a promising tool in biology.
Noncontact robotic particle grippers with trapping, manipulation, and release functions are highly desired in cell biology and microfluidics. Optoelectric techniques combine optical and electrokinetic effects to create thousands of such individually addressable traps. By projecting reconfigurable light patterns, these techniques can concentrate molecules, as well as manipulate, sort, and electr...
