Abstract

The invention provides a pair of combined optical fiber optical tweezers based on a special optical fiber. The pair of combined optical fiber optical tweezers is characterized in that the pair of combined optical fiber optical tweezers is composed of a coaxial double-waveguide optical fiber 1, an annular core optical fiber 2, a frustum 3 and a Fresnel diffraction lens 4. One end of the coaxial double-waveguide optical fiber 1 is welded with a section of annular core optical fiber 2, the frustum 3 is formed by grinding the fiber end of the annular core optical fiber 2, and the Fresnel diffraction lens 4 is formed by machining on the end surface of a cladding 201 of the annular core optical fiber 2 by using a femtosecond laser micromachining system. Light transmitted by the annular fiber core 202 is converged into a potential well capable of stably capturing particles through the frustum 3, and light transmitted by the cladding 201 is converged into another potential well capable of capturing particles through the Fresnel diffraction lens 4. The pair of combined optical fiber optical tweezers can be used for capturing and catapulting particles, and can be widely applied to the fieldsof photodynamic control and the like.

Description

[0001] (1) Technical field [0002] The invention relates to a combined optical fiber optical tweezers based on special optical fibers, which can be used for capturing and ejecting cells or particles, and belongs to the technical field of photodynamic manipulation. [0003] (2) Background technology [0004] In 1986, Askin and his colleagues first proposed the concept of "optical tweezers" [Optical Letters, 18(5): 288-290, 1986], which opened up a new field of research on light-harvesting particles. At present, optical tweezers technology has become a general tool for scientific research to explore the microscopic world. [0005] Optical tweezers, which use light to grasp objects. But the difference is that optical tweezers make particles bound by light to achieve the effect of "grasping". Optical tweezers can achieve spatial resolution on the order of nanometers, force resolution on the order of piconewtons, and temporal resolution on the order of milliseconds. This enables...
