Abstract

This project aims at investigating, both theoretically and experimentally, a class of structured non-diffracting waves - also known as Frozen Waves (FWs) - as light beams for new techniques in holographic projection and as alternative trapping beams in optical tweezers systems and in new designs of photophoretic traps in optical trap displays (OTDs). Being arbitrarily modeled in the centimeter, millimeter or micrometer range, FWs are appealing both in the generation of multiple and simultaneous optical traps and in the controlled illumination at pre-defined points in space, allowing for holographic projections with no reduction in axial resolution and, consequently, high-quality 2D and 3D images. The analysis assumed here is threefold: theoretical, computational and experimental. The following results are expected: (i) the experimental generation of 2D and 3D FWs, (ii) the experimental generation of photophoretic traps with FWs, (iii) new theoretical formalisms in the calculation of photophoretic forces for FWs and arbitrary-shaped beams beyong plane waves, in the context of generalized Lorenz-Mie theories, envisioning future incorporation of FWs in OTDS, (iv) reliable predictions of trapping forces in optical tweezers systems with 2D and 3D FWs. The present proposal, which is located on the frontier of knowledge in terms of new techniques in computer-generated holography, 2D and 3D images, OTDS and multiple optical trapping for biology, optics, photonics and telecommunications, has its schedule divided into quarters and will be carried out in collaboration with renowned research groups in Brazil and abroad.
