technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device and a method for particle branching in optical tweezers, in particular to an experimental device and method for multiple particle branching experiments in a vacuum optical tweezers system. Background technique
[0002] In 1971, American physicist Ashkin and others used a lens to weakly focus a beam of laser light propagating vertically upwards, and used optical methods to stabilize glass particles with a diameter of 20um for the first time. In 1986, he discovered that after strongly focusing a single laser beam, particles can be stably captured without relying on gravity. This technique was named optical tweezers. In 2018, Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of optical tweezers. The principle of optical tweezers is that the strongly focused laser beam produces a force that always points to the focus on the medium particle, and its magnitude is proportional to the electric field gradient, so...
