Abstract

Higher-order laser beams were demonstrated to enable optical manipulation of low-index-particles. In this work single-ringed Laguerre-Gaussian beams, obtained by means of phase-only diffractive optical elements, are used to perform manipulation of phospholipid-shelled gas microbubbles in water. Implementation of diffractive optical elements on a programmable spatial light modulator allows to generate also arrays of Laguerre-Gaussian traps. We show manipulation of low-index particles by properly displaying a suitable sequence of diffractive optical elements. Control over the distance between the trapped particles in real time is also demonstrated.
