Paper Abstract
Compared to conventional optics like singlet lenses or even microscope objectives advanced optical designs help to
develop properties specifically useful for efficient optical tweezers. We present an optical setup providing a customized
intensity distribution optimized with respect to large trapping forces. The optical design concept combines a refractive
double axicon with a reflective parabolic focusing mirror. The axicon arrangement creates an annular field distribution
and thus clears space for additional integrated observation optics in the center of the system. Finally the beam is focused
to the desired intensity distribution by a parabolic ring mirror. The compact realization of the system potentially opens
new fields of applications for optical tweezers such as in production industries and micro-nano assembly.
