Trapping aerosols with optical bottle arrays generated through a superposition of multiple Airy beams

Ze Zhang, Peng Zhang, Matthew Mills, Zhigang Chen, D. N., and Jingjiao Liu

We experimentally demonstrate the generation of an array of optical bottle beams by employing multiple self-accelerating Airy beams. This kind of optical bottle array is created by superimposing eight Airy beams along a circle, all with inward acceleration directed towards the center. In addition, we demonstrate stable trapping of multiple absorbing glassy carbon particles using the proposedoptical bottle array.
