Determinations of angular stiffness in rotational optical tweezers
Mark L. Watson, Alexander B. Stilgoe, Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop
Rotational optical tweezers are used to probe the mechanical properties of unknown microsystems. Quantifying the angular trap stiffness is essential for interpreting the rotational…
Interrogating the Ballistic Regime in Liquids with Rotational Optical Tweezers
Mark L. Watson, Alexander B. Stilgoe, Itia A. Favre-Bulle +1
Accessing the ballistic regime of single particles in liquids remains an experimental challenge that shrouds our understanding of the particle-liquid interactions on exceedingly sh…
Roadmap for Optical Tweezers
Giovanni Volpe, Onofrio M. Maragò, Halina Rubinzstein-Dunlop +80
Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and manipulation of objects ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work b…
Controlled transfer of transverse optical angular momentum to optically trapped birefringent particles
Alexander B. Stilgoe, Timo A. Nieminen, Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop
We report on the observation and measurement of the transfer of transverse angular momentum to birefringent particles several wavelengths in size. A trapped birefringent particle i…
Enhanced optical trapping via structured scattering
Michael A Taylor, Muhammad Waleed, Alexander B Stilgoe +2
Interferometry can completely redirect light, providing the potential for strong and controllable optical forces. However, small particles do not naturally act like interferometric…
Dynamic high-resolution optical trapping of ultracold atoms
Guillaume Gauthier, Thomas A. Bell, Alexander B. Stilgoe +3
All light has structure, but only recently it has become possible to construct highly controllable and precise potentials so that most laboratories can harness light for their spec…
