Optical Manipulation Heats up: Present and Future of Optothermal Manipulation
ACS Nano, 2023Optothermal manipulation is a versatile technique that combines optical and thermal forces to control synthetic micro-/nanoparticles and biological entities. This emerging technique overcomes the limitations of traditional optical tweezers, including high laser power, photon and thermal damage to fragile objects, and the requirement of refractive-index

In current biotechnology and biomedicine, cell-based investigations are rapidly gaining importance due to the recognition that molecular research alone does not provide a sufficiently complex insight. The high cost of animal studies and the fact that their results often cannot be directly transferred to humans additionally shifts the focus towards cell-

A revolution in optical manipulation
Nature, 2003Optical tweezers use the forces exerted by a strongly focused beam of light to trap and move objects ranging in size from tens of nanometres to tens of micrometres. Since their introduction in 1986, the optical tweezer has become an important tool for research in the fields of biology, physical chemistry and soft condensed matter physics.

Frontiers in Optics, 2003
Optical vortices can provide mechanisms for micromanipulation of micron or sub-micron sized particles as well as a means to generate complicated array patterns. Particularly interesting is the way in which higher order vortices can be triggered by a secondary optical field to explode or implode.

Optically manipulating superconductors
Science, 2014Superconductivity In superconductors, electrons of opposite momenta pair to form a highly correlated state that manages to flow without encountering any resistance. Matsunaga et al. manipulated the wavefunction of these pairs in the superconductor NbN with an electromagnetic pulse that they transmitted through a thin layer of the material (see the ...
