Apparatus and method for fabricating, sorting, and integrating materials with holographic optical traps

摘要

An apparatus and method for photochemically transforming small dielectric particles or other materials are disclosed. The apparatus and method involves the use of one or more diffractive optical elements which each receive a laser beam and form a plurality of laser beams. These laser beams are operated on by a telescope lens system and then an objective lens element to create an array of optical traps for manipulating, effecting interaction of, photochemically transforming and/or small dielectric particles or other materials.
