摘要
We harness residual thermal effects in a low-absorptivity system to manipulate parallel optical trapping of particles on the nanoscale. A photonic crystal is used to generate a 2D array of optical traps. We show that the size selectivity of the trap can be tuned by adding a non-ionic surfactant to the solution, altering the thermophoretic effect that delivers nanoparticles to trapping sites. We further show that particles can be permanently immobilized on the photonic crystal via photopolymerization of the trapping medium. (C) 2018 Optical Society of America
