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…

Light-induced rotation of dielectric microparticles around an optical nanofiber

Georgiy Tkachenko, Ivan Toftul, Cindy Esporlas +4

We experimentally demonstrate orbiting of isotropic, dielectric microparticles around an optical nanofiber that guides elliptically polarized fundamental modes. The driving transve…

Polarisation control for optical nanofibres by imaging through a single lens

Georgiy Tkachenko, Fuchuan Lei, Síle Nic Chormaic

We present a simple method for controlling the polarisation state of light at the waist of a single-mode optical nanofibre. The method consists of complete polarisation compensatio…

Complete polarization control for a nanofiber waveguide using directional coupling

Fuchuan Lei, Georgiy Tkachenko, Jonathan M. Ward +1

Optical nanofiber waveguides are widely used for near-field delivery and measurement of light. Despite their versatility and efficiency, nanofibers have a critical drawback - their…
