Abstract

Optical micro-manipulation has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years which has been due in part to new application areas and the use of tailored forms of light beam. The use of Laguerre-Gaussian and Bessel light beams is described. The creation of optically bound matter using counter-propagating Gaussian beams is also discussed.
