Holographic optical bottle beams

Abstract

We present a convolution approach for the generation of optical bottle beams that combines established techniques of holographic optical trapping with hollow intensity distributions in order to manipulate absorbing particles. The versatility of our method is demonstrated by the simultaneous stable trapping of multiple particles at defined positions. Furthermore, the presented phase shaping technique allows for the dynamic manipulation of absorbing particles along arbitrary paths.
