Optical trapping of interfaces at ultra-low interfacial tension.
We achieve active control of interfacial phenomena by optically trapping the interface using the gradient forces of a strongly focussed laser beam parallel to the interface. We illustrate our technique in a phase separated colloid-polymer mixture by distorting the interface in a very controlled way....
