Abstract
We demonstrate a fiber-optical version of a stable three-dimensional l ight-force trap, which we have used to hold and manipulate small diele ctric spheres and living yeast. We show that the trap can be construct ed by use of infrared diode lasers with fiber pigtails, without any ex ternal optics.
