Abstract
Intracavity optical tweezers are a powerful tool to trap microparticles in water using the nonlinear feedback effect produced by the particle motion when it is trapped inside the laser cavity. In such systems two configurations are possible: a single-beam configuration and counterpropagating one. A removable isolator allows to switch between these configurations by suppressing one of the beams. Trapping a particle in the counterpropagating configuration, the measure of the optical power shows a feedback effect for each beam, that is present also when the two beams are misaligned and the trapped particle periodically jumps between them.
