Abstract:Optical tweezers is a powerful tool which is used to capture and manipulate microscopic particles such as dielectric microspheres and cells. In the single optical trap the beam is strongly focused to a diffraction limited spot by a high numerical aperture objective. Resently a new version of optical trap was demonstrated with optical fibers. Compared with the common optical tweezers which required high power microscope objective and carefully adjusted optical path, the fiber optical tweezers are compact in siz… Show more
