Abstract

We demonstrate advantages in terms of trapping force distribution and laser efficiency that come from using a telescopic pair of conical lenses (‘axicon’) to generate a ring-like beam, that in conjunction with a high NA objective is used for direct optical trapping with a focused evanescent field near a surface. Various field geometries are considered and compared. First, a Gaussian beam and a laser beam focused on the back focal plane of the objective are compared with each other, and they are scanned across the inlet aperture of the objective. This allows to detect the point of total internal refraction, and to study the trapping power near the surface. We confirm that the hollow beam generated by the conical lenses can generate an evanescent field after a high NA objective lens, and that micron-sized particles can be trapped stably. Finally, we apply the focused evanescent field to erythrocytes under flow, showing that cells are trapped against the flow and are held horizontally against the surface. This is a different equilibrium condition compared to conventional single beam traps, and it is particularly favorable for monitoring the cell membrane. We foresee the integration of this type of trapping with the imaging techniques based on total internal refraction fluoresence (TIRF).

Silica beads of 3μm diameter can be trapped on the bottom of the chamber by various beam geometries: (a) Gaussian beam on-axis and off-axis such that with TIR an evanescent field is generated; (b) Weakly focused beam on the back focal plane, leading to an extended trapping region.

(a) Schematic diagram of the evanescent-field trapping system using a pair of conical lenses (axicons); (b) Beam intensity from optical simulation of propagation through the axicons, done with Zemax; (c) Image of the beam profile at the objective lens inlet. Scale bar: 2.5mm; (d)-(e) Beam profiles at objective aperture, obtained by simulation. Scale bar: 2.5mm. The axicon A2 is positioned on axis in (d), and off axis by 0.5mm in both horizontal and vertical directions (e), showing a characteristic distortion pattern.

Comparison between the optical setup geometries. (a) Laser intensity measurements after propagation through the objective and water-filled sample chambers. This is plotted as a function of the inlet laser position, normalized by the aperture radius. The region of TIR (total internal reflection) is highlighted by dotted lines. (b) The in-plane trap stiffness for 3μm diameter silica beads for the experiment with a Gaussian beam (◯: stiffness in x direction, △: stiffness in y direction) and for the focused beam experiment (●: stiffness in x direction, ▲: stiffness in y direction). The trap stiffness obtained with the hollow beam is shown as a constant value for comparison. (c) Trap stiffness with the hollow beam, trapping 3μm and 1.85μm diameter silica beads, as a function of the height z at which the beads are trapped above the bottom surface. (d) Distribution of displacements from center of trap, for the 3μm diameter beads in a hollow beam trap at z = 0. The fit to a Gaussian (solid line) corresponds to eq. 1 and allows the trap stiffness to be determined. The inset shows the “raw data” of displacement as function of time.

Time sequence images of RBC that are trapped against flow with ν ≃ 0.66μm/s. The thick arrow indicates the cells that are trapped when the laser is on. The small arrows identify flowing cells. In (a) trapping is due to the evanescent field, and the RBC lies flat in the horizontal plane; In (b) the setup is with the standard on-axis Gaussian beam, propagating vertically. The RBC is trapped in the vertical plane.
