Phase contrast optical tweezers

open access: yesOptics Express, 2010
In this paper, for the first time, we report on systematic theoretical and experimental investigation of Phase Contrast Optical Tweezers (PCOT) which could be an indispensable tool for micromanipulation of the transparent micro and nano objects such as biological tissues and vesicles.

Photovoltaic versus optical tweezers

open access: yesOptics Express, 2011
The operation of photovoltaic (PV) tweezers, using the evanescent light-induced PV fields to trap and pattern nano- and micro-meter particles on a LiNbO(3) crystal surface, is discussed. The case of a periodic light pattern is addressed in detail, including the role of particle shape and the modulation index of the light pattern.

Deep learning for optical tweezers

open access: yesNanophotonics
AbstractOptical tweezers exploit light–matter interactions to trap particles ranging from single atoms to micrometer-sized eukaryotic cells. For this reason, optical tweezers are a ubiquitous tool in physics, biology, and nanotechnology. Recently, the use of deep learning has started to enhance optical tweezers by improving their design, calibration ...

Optical Tweezers to Study Viruses

open access: yes, 2013
A virus is a complex molecular machine that propagates by channeling its genetic information from cell to cell. Unlike macroscopic engines, it operates in a nanoscopic world under continuous thermal agitation. Viruses have developed efficient passive and active strategies to pack and release nucleic acids.

Comparing Femtosecond Optical Tweezers with Conventional CW Optical Tweezers

open access: yes
In this work, we present a comparative study between continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed optical tweezers for 250 nm, 500 nm and 1-micron radius polystyrene beads at 5 different laser powers. We have used a Ti:Sapphire (MIRA 900F) laser that can be easily switched from CW to pulsed mode of operation, so there is no change in the experimental conditions in ...

Optical doughnut for optical tweezers

Optics Letters, 2003
We describe novel optical doughnuts for optical tweezers. With new phase functions, the proposed doughnut beams have dark cores in specified shapes. The technique can offer a simple method for creating a variety of beam shapes to match the trapped objects.
