Observation of Light-Driven Levitation Near Epsilon-Near-Zero Surfaces
Maria Grazia Donato, Michael Hinczewski, Theodore Letsou +6
Optical manipulation of micro- and nanoparticles near surfaces is fundamental for applications in sensing and microfluidics, yet controlling particle-surface interactions remains c…
Faster calculations of optical trapping using neural networks trained by T-matrix data: an application to micro and nanoplastics
Shadi Rezaei, David Bronte Ciriza, Abdollah Hassanzadeh +5
We employ neural networks to improve and speed up optical force calculations for dielectric particles. The network is first trained on a limited set of data obtained through accura…
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…
