The manipulation of microscopic particles solely by light has reached a high level of sophistication and versatility. While simple optical tweezers have become a standard technology in many laboratories nowadays, in particular the holographic shaping of laser light fields has dramatically increased potential applications of optical micromanipulation. In this article, we briefly introduce the basic concepts of holographic beam shaping, and show a selection of cuttingedge applications in the field of optical micromanipulation.
