The response of a microscopic dielectric object to an applied light field can profoundly affect its kinetic motion. A classic example of this is an optical trap, which can hold a particle in a tightly focused light beam. Optical fields can also be used to arrange, guide or deflect particles in appropriate light-field geometries. Here we demonstrate an optical sorter for microscopic particles that exploits the interaction of particles—biological or otherwise—with an extended, interlinked… CONTINUE READING
