Electro-Optical Metalens for Near-Surface Cooling of a Levitated Particle
Pedro Rosso Gomez, Bruno Melo, Adeel Afridi +3
Advanced levitation optomechanics in the quantum regime requires sophisticated quantumengineered protocols operating at shorter length and time scales, demanding an increasing cont…
3D trapping of a meta-atom in an intensity minimum
Bin Lu, Adeel Afridi, Nadine Meyer +1
High-refractive-index particles have recently attracted a growing interest in optical levitation experiments, offering the ability to further engineer optical forces through electr…
Controlling the sign of optical forces using metaoptics
Adeel Afridi, Bruno Melo, Nadine Meyer +1
Precise manipulation of small objects using light holds transformative potential across diverse fields. While research in optical trapping and manipulation predominantly relies on…
Optical Supertorque Induced by Mie-Resonant Modes
Ivan Toftul, Mihail Petrov, Romain Quidant +1
We introduce the concept of resonant optical torque that allows enhancing substantially a transfer of optical angular momentum (AM) of light to a subwavelength particle. We conside…
Vacuum levitation and motion control on chip
Bruno Melo, Marc T. Cuairan, Gregoire F. M. Tomassi +2
Levitation in vacuum has evolved into a versatile technique which has already benefited diverse scientific directions, from force sensing and thermodynamics to material science and…
