| contents | In this work, we present a comparative study between continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed optical tweezers for 250 nm, 500 nm and 1-micron radius polystyrene beads at 5 different laser powers. We have used a Ti:Sapphire (MIRA 900F) laser that can be easily switched from CW to pulsed mode of operation, so there is no change in the experimental conditions in the two cases. We have measured the difference in the trap strength in both cases by fitting the power spectrum curve with Lorentzian. As it turns out, trapping with pulsed tweezers seems to be more effective for the smaller particles and as the particle size is increased both CW and pulsed tweezers appear to be equally effective at lower average laser powers but as the power is increased pulsed tweezers do a better job at stable trapping. |
