Optomechanics, the study of light-induced forces upon matter, has seen tremendous advances in recent years with broad implications to all natural sciences. Optical tweezers, for instance, are now widely used in physics, chemistry and biology to trap nano- and micro-objects with a refractive index greater than of its surrounding medium using typically Gaussian laser beams. Generalizing these techniques, recent works began to explore higher-order states of the electromagnetic field and its superpositions for optical trapping, creating beams with customized phase, mode and amplitude. These new degrees of freedom allows for optical potentials beyond the harmonic approximation, enabling virtually arbitrary potential forms and even time-dependent forces capable of inducing controlled motion on the trapped object. Within this context of structured light beams, we can explore not only the attractive forces between light and matter but the repulsive ones that arise when the particle s refractive index is smaller than that of its medium. In this work we explore both scenarios by creating holographic beams with a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM). Specifically, we focus on the implementation of the dark focus beam, or optical bottle beam, where particles may find equilibrium in a region with no incidence of light. Experimental results are presented and compared to Lorentz-Mie numerical simulations and possible applications of these inverted optical tweezers in optomechanics and biology are discussed.
