Trapping and guiding microparticles with self-accelerating vortex beams

Year: 2013

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that optical vortices can be navigated along arbitrary trajectories with a preserving donut-shaped main lobe. The possibility of using such self-accelerating vortex-Bessel-like optical beams for particle manipulation is also illustrated.
