The trapping of objects at the low-temperature region can effectively avoid photothermal degradation.

Enhancing the application of optical trapping is limited by size and flexibility of this tool, mostly limited to high numerical aperture objectives. In this work, we show the potential of using structured light to further enhance the capabilities of optical fibres as optical tweezers, to be used for applications in which space and throughput are of importance. Using femtosecond two photon direct laser writing, we produce accurately designed micro-optic probes at the tip of optical fibres to enhance the light field for trapping single particles as well as single live cells. Enhanced trapping efficiency, ease of transporting trapped particle, and potential of performing wide spectrum spectroscopy on the trapped entity are the advantages of the present approach.","PeriodicalId":311295,"journal":{"name":"Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation XVIII","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122351518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We reveal that the transverse spin momentum present in circularly polarised light plays a role in the trapped particle dynamics, which exhibits a range of nonequilibrium phenomena, namely, (i) biased stochastic motion, (ii) coupling of mechanical modes, (iii) nonconservative rotation-translation coupling.

We investigate the effect of the particle loading conditions and the optical trap power on trapping efficiency for an optical standing wave trap in vacuum. Furthermore, cooling all translational and rotational degrees of freedom of a levitated particle with anisotropic susceptibility is demonstrated. A silicon nanorod is trapped in the standing wave field in ultra-high vacuum. Due to the anisotropy of the susceptibility tensor, the nanorod has an enhanced interaction with the light field as compared to a spherical particle of the same volume. These non-spherical nanoparticles are also sensitive to the polarization of the light. We aim to cool the librational motion of the particle by controlling the polarization of the trapping light field and explore whether manipulation via polarization will produce more efficient cooling than other methods.","PeriodicalId":311295,"journal":{"name":"Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation XVIII","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127384010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
