Enhancing Near-Field Optical Tweezers by Spin-to-Orbital Angular Momentum Conversion

Edgar Alonso Guzmán, Alejandro V. Arzola

Near-field patterns of light provide a way to optically trap, deliver and sort single nanoscopic particles in a wide variety of applications in nanophotonics, microbiology and nano…

Fluid viscoelasticity triggers fast transitions of a Brownian particle in a double well optical potential

Brandon R. Ferrer, Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Alejandro V. Arzola

Thermally activated transitions are ubiquitous in nature, occurring in complex environments which are typically conceived as ideal viscous fluids. We report the first direct observ…

Stationary superstatistics distributions of trapped run-and-tumble particles

Francisco J. Sevilla, Alejandro V. Arzola, Enrique Puga Cital

We present an analysis of the stationary distributions of run-and-tumble particles trapped in external potentials in terms of a thermophoretic potential, that emerges when trapped…

Omnidirectional Transport in Fully Reconfigurable Two Dimensional Optical Ratchets

Alejandro V. Arzola, Mario Villasante-Barahona, Karen Volke-Sepúlveda +2

A fully reconfigurable two-dimensional (2D) rocking ratchet system created with holographic optical micromanipulation is presented. We can generate optical potentials with the geom…
