ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide is provided which comprises a non-solid core layer surrounded by a solid-state material, and two light sources capable of introducing light into said non-solid core at opposite ends along a Z-axis of said non-solid core to form two propagating light beams applying force in opposing directions. An integrated optical particle trap device for controlling the placement of small sample particles incorporates the optical waveguide.
