Optical levitation of arrays of microspheres
The authors introduce a new method for the defect-free trapping of larger arrays of dielectric particles, allowing to address and control each of them separately. The approach presents a valuable contribution to the experimental toolbox for optomechanical experiments using dielectric particles and lays the basis for future experiments once some of the remaining experimental challenges described in the manuscript are addressed.
