Abstract

A novel flat-faced thin fiber optic tweezers is proposed. It was fabricated by heating and drawing method under the condition of laying aside the conventional focusing method. With this fiber optic probe, the single fiber optic tweezers realized trapping a yeast cell in water. The experiment results were in good agreement with the simulated results which were carried out using FDTD method.
