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…
Optical Tweezers: A Comprehensive Tutorial from Calibration to Applications
Jan Gieseler, Juan Ruben Gomez-Solano, Alessandro Magazzù +9
Since their invention in 1986 by Arthur Ashkin and colleagues, optical tweezers have become an essential tool in several fields of physics, spectroscopy, biology, nanotechnology, a…
Light control through a nonlinear lensing effect in a colloid of biosynthesized Gold Nanoparticles
A. Balbuena Ortega, E. Brambilia, V. López Gayou +5
Biosynthesis of four samples of colloidal suspensions of gold nanoparticles is achieved using hydroalcoholic extract and three different separated compounds of the plant Bacopa pro…
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…
