preparation example Construction

[0067] Concrete preparation method is as follows:

[0068] Step 1.1: Strip the coating layer in the middle of the optical fiber with optical fiber strippers to obtain a bare optical fiber with a length of 1-2 cm and a diameter of 100-125 microns;

[0069] Step 1.2: Put the bare optical fiber prepared in step 1.1 into a glass capillary with an inner diameter of 0.9-1.0 mm and a length of 100-150 mm;

[0070] Step 1.3: Place the bare optical fiber horizontally on the outer flame above the alcohol lamp, and let it stand for 28-38 seconds under the condition of 500-550 degrees. After the optical fiber reaches the melting point, melt the molten part at a speed of 2 mm per second Thinning, when the diameter of the thinning part is reduced from 120-130 microns to 8-10 microns in the length of 1.6-1.8 mm, the drawing speed is increased to 10-15 mm per second to quickly break the optical fiber;

[0071] Step 1.4: Place the broken optical fiber under a microscope for observation. It ca...

Embodiment 1

[0095] Capture and Manipulation of Fluorescent Nanoparticles:

[0096] Process such as figure 2 As shown in (a), when the microlens is not adhered to the fiber tip, such as figure 2 As shown in (a1), the backscattered light signal measured at this time is relatively low; when the microlens is close to and finally adhered to the fiber tip, as shown in figure 2 As shown in (a2), the backscattering signal will first produce a certain jitter, because the adhesion is not stable enough at this time. After a period of time, the backscattering signal rises a step and tends to be stable, which proves that the microlens has been fixed on the fiber.

[0097] A laser with a wavelength of 808 nanometers is passed into the optical fiber, and a single fluorescent nanoparticle with a size of 85 nanometers will be captured by the photon nanojet and cause changes in the backscattered light signal, such as figure 2As shown in (b), the output power from the microlens has been measured to be...

Embodiment 2

[0103] Capture and manipulate DNA molecules:

[0104] Individual biomolecules are more difficult to capture and manipulate than nanoparticles due to their lower refractive index, smaller size, and irregular shape.

[0105] Before being captured, the plasmid DNA molecules were subjected to Brownian motion in the solution. When a laser with a power of 5 milliwatts was passed into the optical fiber, a single DNA molecule was successfully captured. After a period of time, the DNA molecules would undergo Brownian motion and The environment is shaken and released, and the representative picture of the whole process is as follows image 3 (a~c) shown.

[0106] In order to observe DNA molecules with an ordinary optical microscope, we pass a laser with a power of 150 microwatts and a wavelength of 532 nanometers into the optical fiber 2 to irradiate the DNA molecules from the side. After the DNA molecules are irradiated by the laser, they can be seen under the microscope. Green scatt...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nano-optical tweezers, and relates to a nano-optical tweezers device method for precisely controlling nanoparticles and biomolecules. Background technique [0002] Traditional optical tweezers is a far-field optical tweezers technology, which uses a high numerical aperture objective lens to converge the laser beam in free space to generate an optical potential well, which can trap and manipulate tiny particles without contact and damage. Powerful tools for research in physical sciences, cell biology, and molecular biology. [0003] In recent years, because the near-field optical tweezers technology can break through the diffraction limit, it has attracted more and more international attention. Existing near-field optical tweezers technologies include plasmonic optical tweezers, slit waveguides, and photonic crystal resonators. These near-field optical tweezers technologies are based on nanostructures su...
