Ultraprecise holographic optical tweezer array

Physical Review A
Neutral atoms trapped in microscopic optical tweezers have emerged as a growing platform for quantum science. Achieving homogeneity over the tweezers array is an important technical requirement, and our research focuses on improving it for holographic arrays generated with a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM).

Improved axial trapping with holographic optical tweezers

Optics Express, 2015
Conventional optical tweezers suffer from several complications when applying axial forces to surface-tethered molecules. Aberrations from the refractive-index mismatch between an oil-immersion objective's medium and the aqueous trapping environment both shift the trap centre and degrade the trapping strength with focal depth. Furthermore, interference

Simulation of superresolution holography for optical tweezers [PDF]

, 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 ...

Harnessing Ultrafast Optical Pulses for 3D Microfabrication by Selective Tweezing and Immobilization of Colloidal Particles in an Integrated System

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.
Microfabrication using nano‐ to micron‐sized blocks has transformative potential for next‐gen electronics, optoelectronics, and materials. Traditional methods are limited by scalability and precision. STIC, a single‐laser system for precise colloid manipulation and immobilization using femtosecond lasers, is introduced that enables efficient 3D ...

Optical shield: measuring viscosity of turbid fluids using optical tweezers [PDF]

, 2012
The viscosity of a fluid can be measured by tracking the motion of a suspended micron-sized particle trapped by optical tweezers. However, when the particle density is high, additional particles entering the trap compromise the tracking procedure and ...

Orbital angular momentum 25 years on [invited] [PDF]

, 2017
Twenty-five years ago Allen, Beijersbergen, Spreeuw, and Woerdman published their seminal paper establishing that light beams with helical phase-fronts carried an orbital angular momentum. Previously orbital angular momentum had been associated only with

Optically Selective Photomask Based on Field‐Induced Periodic Defect Arrays in Ferroelectric Nematics

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 12, 25 March 2026.
Field‐induced periodic defect patterns in the ferroelectric nematic liquid crystal phase act as optically selective photomasks. Created in the liquid crystal cells with bare electrodes, their periodicity is controlled by the applied frequency and cell gap. When used as photomasks, these patterns modulate transmitted light, whose spatial characteristics
