Efficient Optical Manipulation of Janus Particles by Optical Nanofibers
Cindy Esporlas, Georgiy Tkachenko, Isha Sanskriti +2
Small composite objects, known as Janus particles, drive sustained scientific interest primarily targeted at biomedical applications, where such objects act as micro- or nanoscale…
Dynamic Multiple Nanoparticle Trapping using Metamaterial Plasmonic Tweezers
Domna G. Kotsifaki, Viet Giang Truong, Sile Nic Chormaic
Optical manipulation has attracted remarkable interest owing to its versatile and non-invasive nature. However, conventional optical trapping remains inefficient for the nanoscopic…
Plasmonic tweezers based on connected nanoring apertures
Theodoros D. Bouloumis, Domna G. Kotsifaki, Xue Han +2
The manipulation of microparticles using optical forces has led to many applications in the life and physical sciences. To extend optical trapping towards the nano-regime, in this…
Fano-Resonant, Asymmetric, Metamaterial-Assisted Tweezers for Single Nanoparticle Trapping
Domna G. Kotsifaki, Viet Giang Truong, Sile Nic Chormaic
Plasmonic nanostructures can overcome Abbe's diffraction limit to generate strong gradient fields, enabling efficient optical trapping of nano-sized particles. However, it remains…
Fabrication of Optical Nanofibre-Based Cavities using Focussed Ion-Beam Milling -- A Review
Priscila Romagnoli, Maki Maeda, Jonathan M. Ward +2
Nanofibre-based optical cavities are particularly useful for quantum optics application, such as the development of integrated single-photon sources, and for studying fundamental l…
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…
