Optofluidic Particle Manipulation: Optical Trapping in a Thin-Membrane Microchannel

We demonstrate an optofluidic device which utilizes the optical scattering and gradient forces for particle trapping in microchannels featuring 300 nm thick membranes. On-chip waveguides are used to direct light into microfluidic trapping channels. Radiation pressure is used to push particles into a...
