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…
Topological lasers generating and multiplexing topological light
B. Bahari, L. -Y. Hsu, S. H. Pan +5
Vortices are topologically stable singularities at the center of a swirl of energy. Optical vortices are conventionally formed using diffractive optics or by bespoke optical elemen…
Optical force-induced nonlinearity and self-guiding of light in human red blood cell suspensions
Rekha Gautam, Yinxiao Xiang, Josh Lamstein +12
Osmotic conditions play an important role in the cell properties of human red blood cells (RBCs), which are crucial for the pathological analysis of some blood diseases such as mal…
Optical disassembly of cellular clusters by tunable tug-of-war tweezers
Anna Bezryadina, Daryl Preece, Joseph C. Chen +1
Bacterial biofilms underlie many persistent infections, posing major hurdles in antibiotic treatment. Here, we design and demonstrate tug-of-war optical tweezers that can facilitat…
Optical tweezers: wideband microrheology
Daryl Preece, Rebecca Warren, Manlio Tassieri +4
Microrheology is a branch of rheology having the same principles as conventional bulk rheology, but working on micron length scales and micro-litre volumes. Optical tweezers have b…
