Abstract

An optical trapping method using optical fibre (optical fibre trapping method) is proposed. Optical trapping of a dielectric particle and a biological cell is successfully demonstrated. The experimental results show that a trapped micro object was easily moved and freely synchronised to the trapping fibre.
