Problems solved by technology

The patent (CN201110047640.4) proposes a particle transport device based on a hollow fused-core capillary fiber. However, due to the evanescent wave in the fiber, the optical force that can be provided from the fiber core to the cladding varies with the distance from the fiber The fiber core distance is getting smaller and smaller, so this device has low particle capture and transport capabilities

Embodiment Construction

[0032] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific examples.

[0033] Step 1. Device preparation: According to the optical fiber preparation method of the embodiment, a single-fiber optical tweezers based on an air defect microcavity is manufactured. The optical fiber of the device is a five-core optical fiber. Since the five-core optical fiber contains more cores, a larger air defect microcavity is required to fully modulate the conduction mode field in the optical fiber (see Figure 2). A tunable laser with a pigtail plus a fiber coupler 101, 102 is used to inject light into the device in conjunction with a common single-mode fiber (see figure 1 , Figure 9 ).

[0034] Step 2. Preparation of tapered fiber ends (this step can be prepared in two ways): hot-melt tapering: according to the fusion tapering method of the embodiment to make a parabolic tapered structure (see Figure 3); optical fiber fiber end grinding: According to the metho...

Abstract

The invention provides single-fiber optical tweezers based on an air defect microcavity. The device is characterized in that a conduction mode field 5 of a single-core optical fiber 3 is modulated through an air defect micro-cavity 2 to form a multi-stage divergent beam 6, then a strong convergent beam 7 is formed after total internal reflection occurs at a conical fiber end 4 and an external solution interface, and finally a plurality of convergent points 11 capable of capturing micro-nano particles 12 are formed on an optical axis. And an evanescent field capable of continuously transporting particles is formed on the surface of the tapered fiber end 4, so that the functions of particle transportation and multi-particle capture are integrated in a single optical fiber. In addition, the position and the number of the convergent points 11 can be adjusted by changing the optical wavelength, and the purpose of dynamically regulating and controlling the capture position or the motion state of the micro-nano particles 12 is achieved. The device can be used for light control and regulation of biological or medium micro-nano small particles, has the characteristics of integration, miniaturization, stabilization and the like, and has wide application prospects in the fields of multi-potential-well light capture, particle light stretching, particle light oscillation and the like.
