Abstract

Holographic optical tweezers employ diffractive optical elements (DOEs) in order to generate a multitude of optical traps. The DOE is commonly placed in a Fourier plane with respect to the plane where optical trapping occurs. An alternative to generate multiple optical traps are image-plane methods, where the structuring of the light wave is performed in a plane optically conjugate to the trapping plane. With an image-plane approach, possibly expensive computations of computer-generated holograms can be avoided completely. Furthermore, associated possible drawbacks of the diffractive approach, like losses into the zeroth diffraction order or inhomogeneous traps and ghost traps, are missing.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In order to keep the description clear effects of refraction at the interfaces of the medium and absorption inside the medium have been neglected. Neither effect affects the essence of the model and their inclusion is straightforward.

  2. 2.

    Here we neglect thermal generation of electrons.

  3. 3.

    This set of equations is sometimes referred to as “Kukhtarev equations”.

  4. 4.

    The grating parameter \(\chi\) can be changed with the choice of the photorefractive material.

  5. 5.

    High-index particles are particles with a refractive index higher than the surrounding medium while low-index particles are the reverse.
