Building on conventional dual-fiber optical trap systems, we have developed a multichannel dual-fiber optical trap chip that is simple and low-cost. This chip features three channels, enabling simultaneous capture of three individual microspheres within a liquid environment. With each microsphere being captured by opposing optical fibers at 45-mW power, the measured axial optical trap stiffnesses of each channel were 0.4626, 0.7184, and |
