Integrated optical tweezers using arrayed waveguide grating

Abstract

We propose and fabricate planar waveguide type optical tweezers that use arrayed waveguide gratings as waveguide lenses. We confirm in experiments that the proposed tweezers can manipulate several particles simultaneously without mechanical movable parts.
