Electronic control of optical tweezers using space-time-wavelength mapping

Abstract

We present a new approach for electronic control of optical tweezers by using space-time-wavelength mapping (STWM), a technique that uses time-domain modulation to control local intensity values and hence the resulting optical force in space. The proposed technique enables direct control of magnitude, location, and polarity of force hot spots created by Lorentz force (gradient force). In this paper we develop an analytical formulation of the proposed STWM technique for optical tweezing. In the case study presented here we show that 150 fs optical pulses are dispersed in time and space to achieve a focused elliptical beam that is 20μm long and 2μm wide. By choosing the appropriate RF waveform and electro-optic modulator we can generate multiple hot spots with >200pN force per pulse.
