Optical Calibration of Holographic Acoustic Tweezers
Sonia Marrara, David Bronte Ciriza, Alessandro Magazzu +8
Recently, acoustic tweezers based on an array of ultrasonic transducers have been reported taking inspiration from holographic optical tweezers. In the latter technique, the calibr…
Optically Driven Janus Micro Engine with Full Orbital Motion Control
David Bronte Ciriza, Agnese Callegari, Maria Grazia Donato +11
Microengines have shown promise for a variety of applications in nanotechnology, microfluidics and nanomedicine, including targeted drug delivery, microscale pumping, and environme…
Investigation of dust grains by optical tweezers for space applications
A. Magazzù, D. Bronte Ciriza, A. Musolino +10
Cosmic dust plays a dominant role in the universe, especially in the formation of stars and planetary systems. Furthermore, the surface of cosmic dust grains is the bench-work wher…
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…
Optical tweezers in a dusty universe
P. Polimeno, A. Magazzu, M. A. Iati +17
Optical tweezers are powerful tools based on focused laser beams. They are able to trap, manipulate and investigate a wide range of microscopic and nanoscopic particles in differen…
Reduced lasing thresholds in GeSn microdisk cavities with defect management of the optically active region
Anas Elbaz, Riazul Arefin, Emilie Sakat +20
GeSn alloys are nowadays considered as the most promising materials to build Group IV laser sources on silicon (Si) in a full complementary metal oxide semiconductor-compatible app…
Ultra-low threshold cw and pulsed lasing in tensile strained GeSn alloys
A. Elbaz, D. Buca, N. Von den Driesch +15
GeSn alloys are the most promising semiconductors for light emitters entirely based on group IV elements. Alloys containing more than 8 at.% Sn have fundamental direct band-gaps, s…
