Optical particle trapping with computer-generated holograms written on a liquid-crystal display

Computer-generated holograms written on a liquid-crystal display can be used to generate dynamic light fields of arbitrary shape. This method was used to simultaneously trap polystyrene particles laterally and to displace them independently of one another.
