A programmable optical angle clamp for rotary molecular motors [PDF]

, 2007
Optical tweezers are widely used for experimental investigation of linear molecular motors. The rates and force dependence of steps in the mechanochemical cycle of linear motors have been probed giving detailed insight into motor mechanisms. With similar

Optically programmable excitonic traps [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2013
With atomic systems, optically programmed trapping potentials have led to remarkable progress in quantum optics and quantum information science. Programmable trapping potentials could have a similar impact on studies of semiconductor quasi-particles, particularly excitons.

Alternative techniques for the production and manipulation of ultracold atoms [PDF]

, 2012
This Thesis contains details of the construction and characterisation of a compact apparatus for the cooling of ultracold atoms to quantum degeneracy, and their manipulation in flexible holographic optical traps. We have designed and built two iterations

Forced Atom Interferometers in Optical Harmonic Potentials

Atoms
We present a study of Doppler-sensitive light-pulse atom interferometers operating within optical dipole potentials, where atomic trajectories are manipulated using momentum transfer from light pulses and optical forces from the trap.

Particle Manipulation by Optical Forces in Microfluidic Devices

Micromachines, 2018
Since the pioneering work of Ashkin and coworkers, back in 1970, optical manipulation gained an increasing interest among the scientific community. Indeed, the advantages and the possibilities of this technique are unsubtle, allowing for the manipulation

Lightsheet optical tweezer (LOT) for optical manipulation of microscopic particles and live cells

Scientific Reports, 2022
Optical trapping and patterning cells or microscopic particles is fascinating. We developed a light sheet-based optical tweezer to trap dielectric particles and live HeLa cells.

Diffusiophoresis driven colloidal manipulation and shortcuts to adiabaticity

New Journal of Physics, 2021
While compressing a colloidal state by optical means alone has been previously achieved through a specific time-dependence of the trap stiffness, realizing quickly the reverse transformation stumbles upon the necessity of a transiently expulsive trap. To

Bidirectional helical motility of cytoplasmic dynein around microtubules

eLife, 2014
Cytoplasmic dynein is a molecular motor responsible for minus-end-directed cargo transport along microtubules (MTs). Dynein motility has previously been studied on surface-immobilized MTs in vitro, which constrains the motors to move in two dimensions ...
