Abstract:

Optical tweezers provide an effective non-contact and non-damaging method for precise manipulation of microscopic particles, which is of great significance in the development and application of optical micromanipulation technology. In this paper, a scheme is proposed for generating a one-dimensional movable optical potential trap(optical tweezers) using a spatial light modulator, thereby demonstrating it and discussing its application in particle trapping. The phase holograms of the two beams loaded on a space light modulator were dynamically tuned continuously to produce focused Gaussian and vortex hollow beams. The propagation characteristics of the two kinds of beams in free space, the relationship to the maximum intensity of the beam, size of the spot, and focal length were further studied. The optical potential, gradient force, and scattering force of particles in focused Gaussian and vortex hollow optical tweezers were calculated. The feasibility of constructing tunable one-dimensional moving optical tweezers is further discussed. This scheme has important application prospects in laser trapping and manipulation of microscopic particles.

Key words: optical tweezers, Gaussian beam, vortex hollow beam, spatial light modulator, particle trapping
