Abstract:
The novel binary radial diffractive optical element (DOE) forming “light bottle” intensity distributions in the zero diffractive order has been designed and experimentally studied. The microparticle’s optical trapping is realized by use of manufactured DOE. It is shown that realized “light bottle” can be used for trapping transparent and non-transparent microparticles in viscous medium.

Key words:
diffractive optical element, optical manipulation, “light bottle” distribution, phase function, plasmochemical etching
