| Abstract | Near-field optical forces arise from evanescent electromagnetic fields and can be advantageously used for on-chip optical trapping. In this work, we investigate how evanescent fields at the surface of photonic cavities can efficiently trap micro-objects such as polystyrene particles and bacteria. We study first the influence of trapped particle's size on the trapping potential and introduce an original optofluidic near-field optical microscopy technique. Then we analyze the rotational motion of trapped clusters of microparticles and investigate their possible use as microfluidic micro-tools such as integrated micro-flow vane. Eventually, we demonstrate efficient on-chip optical trapping of various kinds of bacteria. © 2017 SPIE. |
