Optical Trapping/Tweezers
Optical trapping/tweezers allow one to manipulate small microscopic particles using a highly focused laser beam that provides attractive or repulsive forces by changing the refractive index mismatch between a dielectric particle and the host medium.
Single frequency lasers for this application require high-power, high beam quality, and low noise.
IPS lasers provide a low-cost alternative to diode pumped solid stat lasers for this application.
