Abstract
Holographic optical tweezers were used to trap small arrays of particles. The way in which such devices can be used to create optical microreactors through droplet coagulation is also shown. The use of holographic tweezers to shape light fields by creating beam with optical singularities (optical vortices) is examined. The transfer of orbital angular momentum from a light beam to an optically trapped airborne particle is also studied.
