Numerical Analysis of Optical Trapping Force Affected by Lens Misalignments
Geometrical optics approximation is a classic method for calculating the optical trapping force on particles whose sizes are larger than the wavelength of the trapping light.

Nanoscale Optical Trapping by Means of Dielectric Bowtie
Plasmonic and dielectric tweezers represent a common paradigm for an innovative and efficient optical trapping at the micro/nanoscale. Plasmonic configurations provide subwavelength mode confinement, resulting in very high optical forces, at the expense ...

A two-dimensional lattice of blue detuned atom traps using a projected Gaussian beam array
We describe a new type of blue detuned optical lattice for atom trapping which is intrinsically two dimensional, while providing three-dimensional atom localization.

Optically programmable excitonic traps [PDF]
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.

Plasmon-assisted optical trapping and anti-trapping
The ability to manipulate small objects with focused laser beams has opened a venue for investigating dynamical phenomena relevant to both fundamental and applied science. Nanophotonic and plasmonic structures enable superior performance in optical trapping via highly confined near-fields.

Optical Trapping of Absorbing Particles [PDF]
Radiation pressure forces in a focussed laser beam can be used to trap microscopic absorbing particles against a substrate. Calculations based on momentum transfer considerations show that stable trapping occurs before the beam waist, and that trapping is more effective with doughnut beams.

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shed light on how laser trapping dynamics under femtosecond pulsed excitation are fine-tuned by optical and thermal nonlinearities.

Optical trapping of nanoparticles by full solid-angle focusing
Optical dipole-traps are used in various scientific fields, including classical optics, quantum optics and biophysics. Here, we propose and implement a dipole-trap for nanoparticles that is based on focusing from the full solid angle with a deep ...

Low-cost optical manipulation using hanging droplets of PDMS [PDF]
We propose and demonstrate a low-cost optical micromanipulation system that makes use of simple microfrabricated components coupled to a smartphone camera for imaging. Layering hanging droplets of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on microscope coverslips, and
