ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and method to generating and controlling optical traps for manipulation of small particles. An upstream modification of an input laser beam provides a beam with a square or other preselected, cross section of intensity which can be used to form optical traps with a corresponding cross section of intensity.
