Optical potential-well array for high-selectivity, massive trapping and sorting at nanoscale by Shi, Yuzhi, Zhao, Haitao, Chin, Lip Ket, Zhang, Yi, Yap, Peng Huat, Ser, Wee, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Liu, Ai Qun

“…Optical tweezers are versatile tools capable of sorting microparticles, yet formidable challenges are present in the separation of nanoparticles smaller than 200 nm. The difficulties arise from the controversy on the requirement of a tightly focused light spot in order to create strong optical forces while a large area is kept for the sorting. …”
