Generation of high-intensity singular beams
The high-intensity singular beam turns out to be created by means of the ordinary cover glass for a microscope. For this it is necessary to place the edge of the cover glass into the high-power fundam...

The combined singular beams generated by saddle-like imperfections of the cover glass surface in IR spectral range is subjected to the unfolding process near the focal plane of a microobjective. As far as such beams have their intensity profile similar to those of the optical vortices with the quaternary topological charge they can be exploited for the trapping and transportation of large micro particles. In contrast to the ordinary high-order optical vortices being unstable against the slight perturbations of the beam's shape, the given singular beams conserve their topological structure to trap and carry over the particles up to 200 µm in sizes. This fact is discussed in detail in the given work.
