A vector holographic optical trap

Abstract: The invention of optical tweezers almost forty years ago has triggered applications spanning multiple disciplines and has also found its way into commercial products. A major breakthrough came with the invention of holographic optical tweezers (HOTs), allowing simultaneous manipulation of many particles, traditionally done with arrays of scalar beams. Here we demonstrate a vector HOT with arrays of digitally controlled Higher-Order Poincaré Sphere (HOPS) beams. We employ a simple set-up using a spatial light m… Show more

“…The demonstrated 3D vectorial holography may open avenues to widespread applications such as holographic trap display (5) and multidimensional data storage (39), machine learning microscopy, and imaging systems (27). In particular, our demonstrated 3D vectorial holography with MANN may provide a useful tool to precisely design and tailor on-demand 3D trapping force inside a single optical trap or among multiple traps (16).…”

“…The 3D vectorial nature of light is fundamentally important to the understanding of the light-matter interaction (13)(14)(15). It should also play a substantial role in holographic optical trapping (16), highresolution fabrication (9) and imaging (17)(18)(19), and high-capacity data storage (20). However, the 3D vectorial information of a holographic image has been completely inaccessible, primarily because of the negligence of the vectorial nature of light in conventional digital holography (21).…”

“…Such protocols would create local high energy states, but due to the frustration, there may not be an easy direction in which one of the particles could move away in order to reduce the interaction energy. In particle based systems, dynamic protocols could be introduced readily by using dynamic traps (Bhebhe et al, 2018;Curtis et al, 2002).…”

“…The use of spatial light modulator (SLM) further simplifies the generation of the complicated spatial distribution of the trapping light field and enhances the functional capabilities of the OTs systems [61]. Computer-generated HOTs with arbitrarily distributed trapping arrays make it possible for creating well-designed multiple traps and are extraordinarily beneficial to the nanofabrication of three-dimensional complex structures [62][63][64]. Remarkably, conventional far-field OTs can apply sufficient trapping forces upon micron-scale particles within diffraction limit, whereas the advanced near-field OTs can overcome the diffraction limitation and optically confine nanoscale particles in the Rayleigh regime [60].…”
