Abstract
We report a comprehensive process for designing and prototyping new and optimized
optical trapping systems. A
combination of traditional lens design strategies, simulation of optical forces,
and high-end ultraprecision
machining of optical free-form
surfaces is applied to the realization of a highly specialized optical trapping
system. The resulting compact and lightweight optical modules potentially open
new classes of applications for optical manipulation. As an example we present a
customized 3D trapping module made of a single piece of polymethylmethacrylate,
with a large working distance of
