Abstract
The invention relates to a method for trapping particles contained in a fluid including at least the steps of generating a coherent light beam, diffusing the coherent light beam using a passive diffusive element to yield a diffused beam having a field of optical speckles, and causing the diffused beam to interact with a plurality of particles contained in a fluid.
