Observation of a Non-Linear Optical Phenomenon from a Microsphere Optically Trapped by a YAG Laser Emerging from an Optical Fiber

Abstract

Optical trapping and manipulation of a microsphere were experimentally demonstrated using a YAG laser emerging from an optical fiber end. Optically trapped microsphere was freely transferred synchronized to the optical fiber without physical contact. Furthermore, the green light emission from an optically trapped polystyrene particle could be observed through a microscope.
