[0048] When used in practical applications, specifically, on the one hand, the laser 1 emits the laser used for light capture, which enters the beam expansion and collimation module including the beam expander 2 and the collimator 3, and the beam expansion and collimation module expands the laser emitted by the laser and unifies the straightness.

[0050] In a first aspect, the present application proposes a holographic optical tweezers device for eliminating zero-order diffraction, and the structural schematic diagram of the device is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device comprises:

[0051] Laser 1, used for emitting a first laser beam;

[0052] A beam expansion and collimation module, used to control the diameter of the first laser beam to obtain a third laser beam;

[0053] A spatial light modulator 4 is used to perform light field modulation on the third laser beam, and the modulated light field is formed after focusing;

[0054] The reflective filter module is used to filter out zero-order diffraction light interference and adjust the optical path.

[0055] Furthermore, the reflective filter module includes a filter 6, a lens assembly, a beam splitter prism 8, and a reflector assembly.

[0056] The filter 6 is used to filter out the zero-order diffraction light;

[0057] The lens assembly is used to adjust the focal length and form a point light trap;

[0058] The reflector assembly includes a structure for changing and adjusting the optical path;

[0059] The beam splitter prism 8 is used to guide the light beam.

[0060] Among them, the zero-order diffraction light is one of the main optical phenomena caused by diffraction of light waves passing through the edge of an object, a pore or the edge of an optical element in an optical system. The "zero-order" in the name of this diffraction light indicates that the main order of diffraction is the zero-order, that is, it is the brightest part in the center of the object. The zero-order diffraction light may cause background noise, reduce imaging quality or interfere with the operation of precise manipulation of particles. Therefore, the control and management of zero-order diffraction light is crucial in holographic optical tweezers technology. The filter 6 can filter out the zero-order diffraction light by selectively transmitting or blocking light of a specific wavelength, thereby improving the imaging clarity and manipulation accuracy of the system. Optionally, the zero-order diffraction light can also be filtered out by a spatial isolator.

[0061] The lens assembly adjusts the position and properties of the lens to adjust the focal length, forming a point light trap, and providing the necessary optical environment for manipulating particles.

[0062] The reflector assembly adjusts the direction of the light path through reflection and refraction to ensure that the various components of the optical system can work together effectively. The design of the reflector can affect the stability and performance of the optical system.

[0063] The beam splitter prism 8 is used to separate and guide light beams, ensuring that light of different wavelengths can be correctly guided to corresponding optical paths, which helps the division of labor and cooperation of the optical system.

[0064] Furthermore, the lens assembly includes a first lens 5, a second lens 7, a lens moving device 15 and a third lens 9.

[0067] The third lens 9 is disposed between the beam splitter prism 8 and the image acquisition module 10 .

[0068] Among them, through the lens assembly, fine-tuning of the focus and height manipulation of the sample 12 can be achieved. The position and design of the first lens 5 affect the focusing of the outgoing light and the light field modulation effect. The second lens 7 is fine-tuned through the lens moving device 15 to achieve precise control of the focus, ensuring that the optical system can maintain a good focus when manipulating the sample 12; the design of the third lens 9 affects the clarity and quality of the final image, ensuring that the image acquisition module 10 can obtain high-quality image data.

[0069] Furthermore, the beam expansion and collimation module includes a beam expander 2 and a collimator 3, the beam expander 2 is used to expand the diameter of the first laser beam to obtain a second laser beam, and the second laser beam is divergent; the collimator 3 is used to unify the straightness of the second laser beam to obtain a third laser beam, and the third laser beam is divergent.

[0070] Among them, the diameter of the laser beam is enlarged by the beam expander 2 to produce a divergent beam. This design is intended to provide a sufficient beam diameter for subsequent operations so as to perform precise optical modulation on components such as the spatial light modulator 4; the direction of the beam is adjusted by the collimator 3 to ensure that the light rays in the beam are basically parallel, which helps to maintain the stability of the beam in subsequent optical components and provides a good foundation for fine spatial light modulation and focusing operations.

[0071] Furthermore, the device comprises a first optical path, a second optical path and a third optical path,

[0072] The first optical path includes the laser 1, a beam expansion and collimation module, a spatial light modulator 4, a first lens 5, a second lens 7 and a lens moving device 15;

[0073] The second optical path includes a sample 12 and a microscope;

[0074] The third optical path includes the third lens 9 and the image acquisition module 10 .

[0075] Among them, the first laser beam emitted by the laser 1 passes through the first optical path to obtain optical tweezers, and the optical tweezers pass through the dichroic prism 8 to enter the second optical path, so as to grasp and move the particles of the sample 12; the microscope in the second optical path emits a sample 12 beam, and the sample 12 beam passes through the dichroic prism 8 to enter the third optical path, so as to image and track the sample 12.

[0076] Among them, the first optical path is designed to generate optical tweezers and control optical tweezers for grabbing and moving particles, the second optical path is designed to observe, image and track the grabbed and moved particles, and the third optical path is designed to image and track the sample 12 in more detail.

[0077] In one embodiment, the reflector assembly includes a first reflector, which is arranged between the first lens 5 and the filter 6; the reflector assembly also includes a second reflector and a third reflector, which are arranged between the filter 6 and the second lens 7, and the outgoing light passing through the second reflector and the third reflector is parallel to the incident light incident on the second reflector and the third reflector and has an opposite direction;

[0079] The reflector assembly also includes a sixth reflector and a seventh reflector, which are arranged between the third lens 9 and the image acquisition module 10, and the outgoing light passing through the sixth reflector and the seventh reflector is parallel to the incident light incident to the sixth reflector and the seventh reflector and has an opposite direction.

[0080] Among them, through the reasonable configuration and arrangement of the seven reflectors in the reflector assembly, the light can be reflected multiple times inside the device, thereby completing a specific optical path and reducing the space occupied by the device. By cleverly arranging and reflecting the light path, the present application can achieve the required functions in a limited space, improve the compactness and efficiency of the optical system, and such a design is very valuable for some application scenarios with limited space and requiring high optimization.

It can capture subtle details and tiny structures, which is very beneficial for improving imaging quality and reducing interference.
