Micro-Dumbbells—A Versatile Tool for Optical Tweezers

open access: yesMicromachines, 2018
Manipulation of micro- and nano-sized objects with optical tweezers is a well-established, albeit still evolving technique. While many objects can be trapped directly with focused laser beam(s), for some applications indirect manipulation with tweezers ...

Holographic tracking and sizing of optically trapped microprobes in diamond anvil cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We demonstrate that Digital Holographic Microscopy can be used for accurate 3D tracking and sizing of a colloidal probe trapped in a diamond anvil cell (DAC).

Expanding the toolbox for nanoparticle trapping and spectroscopy with holographic optical tweezers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We have developed a workstation based on holographic tweezers to optically trap, move and characterize metal nanoparticles. Our advanced darkfield imaging system allows us to simultaneously image and take spectra of single trapped metal nanoparticles. We

Composite Diffraction-Free Beam Formation Based on Iteratively Calculated Primitives

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
To form a diffraction-free beam with a complex structure, we propose to use a set of primitives calculated iteratively for the ring spatial spectrum. We also optimized the complex transmission function of the diffractive optical elements (DOEs), which ...

Compliant rolling-contact architected materials for shape reconfigurability

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The authors introduce a compliant rolling-contact architected material as a class of shape reconfigurable mechanical metamaterial. They also devise an approach that combines two photon stereolithography and scanning holographic optical tweezers, which ...

Improved two-photon photopolymerisation and optical trapping with aberration-corrected structured light

open access: yesFrontiers in Nanotechnology, 2022
We demonstrate the effectiveness of phase only aberration corrections of structured light and their application to versatile optical trapping setups. We calculate phase corrections before (ex-situ) and after (in-situ) a high numerical aperture microscope

Simulation of superresolution holography for optical tweezers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Optical tweezers manipulate microscopic particles using foci of light beams. Their performance is therefore limited by diffraction. Using computer simulations of a model system, we investigate the application of superresolution holography for two ...

Classical and Quantum Gases on a Semiregular Mesh

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The main objective of a statistical mechanical calculation is drawing the phase diagram of a many-body system. In this respect, discrete systems offer the clear advantage over continuum systems of an easier enumeration of microstates, though at the cost ...

Biomechanical properties of native and cultured red blood cells–Interplay of shape, structure and biomechanics

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Modern medicine increases the demand for safe blood products. Ex vivo cultured red blood cells (cRBC) are eagerly awaited as a standardized, safe source of RBC.
