Abstract

The results of experiments on optical manipulation with latex microspheres suspended in liquid by two-lobe light fields experiencing rotation during propagation and focusing. A limit velocity at which particles are confined in an optical trap is estimated. Controlled particle rotation and a change in the interparticle distance are demonstrated.
