AI 中文摘要
光纤光镊在长距离操控、紧凑集成及生物环境微创操作方面具有独特优势。然而,多数光纤光镊依赖单模光纤(SMF),其受限于光模式多样性有限、操控灵活性降低。尽管多模光纤(MMF)支持更宽的传输模式谱,但其固有的低相干混合导模长期制约聚焦捕获构型的设计。为解决这些局限,我们提出并实验验证了一种完全基于MMF的光镊系统,该系统集成了在光纤端面制备的微透镜结构,可实现多波长下的稳定光捕获及被捕获细胞的动态操控。采用532 nm连续波激光器和800 nm飞秒激光器,我们证明两种光源均可通过高数值孔径(NA>0.7)的微透镜产生紧聚焦光斑,实现对细胞的稳定捕获和轴向动态操控。与传统基于SMF的光镊相比,该方法利用MMF的宽带和多模特性,支持波长灵活、动态可调的细胞捕获,为光纤实验室生物光子平台铺平了道路,该平台具有介入式操控、细胞分选、细胞荧光分析等潜在应用。
英文摘要
Optical fiber tweezers offer distinct advantages for long-distance manipulation, compact integration, and minimally invasive operation in biological environments. However, most optical fiber tweezers rely on single-mode fibers (SMFs), which are constrained by limited optical mode diversity and reduced control flexibility. Although multi-mode fibers (MMFs) support a wider spectrum of propagation modes, their inherent mixed guided modes with low coherence become a long-standing limitation for the design of focused trapping configurations. To address these limitations, we propose and experimentally validate a fully MMF-based optical tweezer system integrated with a micro-lens structure fabricated on the fiber facet, enabling stable optical trapping across multiple wavelengths and dynamic manipulation of trapped cells. Employing 532 nm continuous-wave and 800 nm femtosecond lasers, we demonstrate that both light sources can generate tightly focused optical spots through the micro-lens with a high numerical aperture (NA>0.7), achieving robust trapping and axial dynamic manipulation of cells. Compared with conventional SMF-based tweezers, this approach leverages the broadband and multi-mode properties of MMFs, allows for wavelength-flexible and dynamically adjustable trapping of cells, and paves the way for lab-on-fiber biophotonic platforms with potential applications such as interventional manipulation, cell sorting, and cellular fluorescence analysis.
