Optical tweezers and their applications [PDF]
Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2018 Optical tweezers, tools based on strongly focused light, enable optical trapping, manipulation, and characterisation of a wide range of microscopic and nanoscopic materials. In the limiting cases of spherical particles either much smaller or much larger than the trapping wavelength, the force in optical tweezers separates into a conservative gradient ...

Rotational Coherence Times of Polar Molecules in Optical Tweezers. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 Qubit coherence times are critical to the performance of any robust quantum computing platform. For quantum information processing using arrays of polar molecules, a key performance parameter is the molecular rotational coherence time.

Exploring cell and tissue mechanics with optical tweezers.
Journal of Cell Science, 2022 Cellular and tissue biosystems emerge from the assembly of their constituent molecules and obtain a set of specific material properties. To measure these properties and understand how they influence cellular function is a central goal of mechanobiology ...

Heat in optical tweezers [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2013 Laser-induced thermal effects in optically trapped microspheres and single cells have been investigated by Luminescence Thermometry. Thermal spectroscopy has revealed a non-localized temperature distribution around the trap that extends over tens of microns, in agreement with previous theoretical models.

Interferometric Optical Tweezers [PDF]
Optics and Photonics News, 1996 Abstract We report the first experimental demonstration of an optical trap that uses interference fringes for the trapping and micro-manipulation of microscopic objects. The finges can be generated either by two-beam interference or by projecting a reduced image of a Ronchi ruling on the sample plane.
