“…One of the easiest is to use aberrations of a lens, that inevitably lead to the formation of intensity minima, in which the confined particles may be robustly manipulated by moving the trapping lens . To increase the flexibility even further, holographic beam shaping can be utilized to form optical bottle beams, either by a moiré technique or by a convolution between trapping geometry and discrete trapping sites . The latter approach has the advantage that it exploits the output from the well‐known lenses and gratings algorithm.…”

Optical tweezers, a simple and robust implementation of optical micromanipulation technologies, have become a standard tool in biological, medical and physics research laboratories. Recently, with the utilization of holographic beam shaping techniques, more sophisticated trapping configurations have been realized to overcome current challenges in applications. Holographically generated higher‐order light modes, for example, can induce highly structured and ordered three‐dimensional optical potential landscapes with promising applications in optically guided assembly, transfer of orbital angular momentum, or acceleration of particles along defined trajectories. The non‐diffracting property of particular light modes enables the optical manipulation in multiple planes or the creation of axially extended particle structures. Alongside with these concepts which rely on direct interaction of the light field with particles, two promising adjacent approaches tackle fundamental limitations by utilizing non‐optical forces which are, however, induced by optical light fields. Optoelectronic tweezers take advantage of dielectrophoretic forces for adaptive and flexible, massively parallel trapping. Photophoretic trapping makes use of thermal forces and by this means is perfectly suited for trapping absorbing particles. Hence the possibility to tailor light fields holographically, combined with the complementary dielectrophoretic and photophoretic trapping provides a holistic approach to the majority of optical micromanipulation scenarios.

“…Since then, many kinds of free-space optical bottlebeams have been demonstrated and by different methods, such as axicon-based methods [4][5][6], dynamic generation [7,8], holography-based methods [9,10], laser generation [11,12], 3D abruptly autofocusing beams [13], moiré techniques [14], 3D volume bottle-beams [15], and many more. The generation of bottle-beams was also extended recently to plasmonic surface beams; for example, 2D plasmonic bottle-beams were generated by interfering a plasmonic cosine-Gauss beam with a surface plasmon plane wave [16] or interfering two plasmonic cosine-Gauss beams [17].…”

We demonstrate the generation of plasmonic bottle-beams based on self-accelerating surface plasmons. These beams are excited from free-space beams through a special binary phase mask. The mask generates two mirror-imaged self-accelerating surface plasmons, which form the plasmonic bottle-beam and a hot-spot at the point of convergence. The shape and area of the bottle-beams, together with the location of the hot-spot, are statically controlled by designing arbitrary convex trajectories for the two counter-accelerating beams and also are dynamically controlled by the illumination beam.

“…147 Various approaches for the generation of optical beams that combines established techniques of holographic optical trapping with hollow intensity distributions have allowed the simultaneous stable trapping of multiple particles at defined pre-defined positions. 148,149 The optical stretcher is a novel, dual-beam optical trap that is capable of trapping and stretching dielectric particles, such as living biological cells, along the beam axis. Unlike conventional optical tweezing, which use a single focused beam to produce a point like trap, the optical stretcher uses diverging light spread across the particle surface.…”

The advent of optofluidic systems incorporating suspended particles has resulted in the emergence of novel applications. Such systems operate based on the fact that suspended particles can be manipulated using well-appointed active forces, and their motions, locations and local concentrations can be controlled. These forces can be exerted on both individual and clusters of particles. Having the capability to manipulate suspended particles gives users the ability for tuning the physical and, to some extent, the chemical properties of the suspension media, which addresses the needs of various advanced optofluidic systems. Additionally, the incorporation of particles results in the realization of novel optofluidic solutions used for creating optical components and sensing platforms. In this review, we present different types of active forces that are used for particle manipulations and the resulting optofluidic systems incorporating them. These systems include optical components, optofluidic detection and analysis platforms, plasmonics and Raman systems, thermal and energy related systems, and platforms specifically incorporating biological particles. We conclude the review with a discussion of future perspectives, which are expected to further advance this rapidly growing field.
