Abstract

The potential of digital holography for complex manipulation of micron-sized particles with optical tweezers has been clearly demonstrated. By contrast, its use in quantitative experiments has been rather limited, partly due to fluctuations introduced by the spatial light modulator (SLM) that displays the kinoforms. This is an important issue when high temporal or spatial stability is a concern. We have investigated the performance of both an analog-addressed and a digitally-addressed SLM, measuring the phase fluctuations of the modulated beam and evaluating the resulting positional stability of a holographic trap. We show that, despite imparting a more unstable modulation to the wavefront, our digitally-addressed SLM generates optical traps in the sample plane stable enough for most applications. We further show that traps produced by the analog-addressed SLM exhibit a superior pointing stability, better than 1 nm, which is comparable to that of non-holographic tweezers. These results suggest a means to implement precision force measurement experiments with holographic optical tweezers (HOTs).

Fig. 1 Setup for phase measurements. Two polarizers at 45° and −45° with respect to the LC alignment direction are inserted before and after the SLM, respectively, and the intensity as read by the photodetector provides information on the phase fluctuations.

Fig. 2 Left column: phase variation as a function of time for (a) the analog-addressed SLM, (b) the 5-5 setting of the digitally-addressed SLM and (c) the 0-6 setting of the digitally-addressed SLM. In each plot, different curves correspond to different gray levels: 0 (bottom), 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224 and 255 (top). Missing data points are due to the fact that Eq. (1) is fit to mean intensity values; therefore, measured intensities greater than (Ioffset + I0) or less than Ioffset (resulting from phase delays of π and 2π, respectively) cannot be converted to phase delays. Right column: for each SLM setting, a power spectrum of the trace with the largest phase modulation shows the frequency dependence of I(ϕ) modulation.

Fig. 3
Fig. 3 (a) Phase modulations of equal amplitude that are synchronous will not change the phase gradient, maintaining the spatial frequency of the kinoform. In contrast, phase modulations that are asynchronous and/or (b) differ in amplitude can alter the phase gradient. In this schematic example, temporal variation of the angle α leads to a modulation of the trap position d, where f’ is the objective’s focal length and m is the magnification of the telescope used to image the SLM onto the objective’s entrance pupil.

Fig. 4 Left column: power spectra of trapped bead position for different digitally-addressed SLM settings: (a) 5-5 and (b) 0-6. The SLM peak appears at f0 = 300 Hz and f0 = 600 Hz, respectively (red arrows). The peak at 742 Hz is caused by a fan in the high-speed camera. Right column: the amplitude of the oscillation obtained from the peak height is plotted for traps with different corner frequencies. The fit of Eq.

The peak at 100 Hz is parasitic electronic noise from the room illumination. (c) The amplitude of the piezostage oscillation obtained from the 30 Hz peak from camera data is plotted against the trap roll-off frequency determined from BFPI. The red line is a fit using Eq.

(a) Mean intensity measured for different constant gray levels (red circles) and sine squared theoretical curve from Eq. (1) (black line) after determination of I0 and Ioffset from the experimental data. The divergence between these curves shows that gray level and phase delay are not linearly related in this default setting. (b) The default gamma curve, extracted from part (a), gives a nonlinear relation between phase and gray level, not the desired outcome.

Fig. 7 (a). In order to change the old phase values (filled red circles, left axis) to the desired phase values (red line, left axis), the default LUT value assigned to each gray level (open black circles, right axis) needs to be changed. The filled black squares (right axis) correspond to the new LUT values after adjustment. (b). Resulting phase vs. gray level plot for 0-6, demonstrating the correct linear relation between these two parameters. Note, however, that this setting does not provide a full 2π phase modulation for 1064 nm light.
