Title:
OPTICAL TRAP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/007371
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for forming an optical trap comprising two or more photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and at least one source of radiation for inputting radiation to the photonic crystal fibers, the fibres being operable to provide counter-propagating outputs for forming the optical trap.
