Laser Scissors and Tweezers to Study Chromosomes: A Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Starting in 1969 laser scissors have been used to study and manipulate chromosomes in mitotic animal cells. Key studies demonstrated that using the “hot spot” in the center of a focused Gaussian laser beam it was possible to delete the ribosomal genes ...

Optical Frequency Tweezers [PDF]
Physical Review Applied, 2022 We show a concept of optical frequency tweezers for tweezing light in the optical frequency domain with a high resolution, which is the frequency version of the optical tweezers for spatial manipulation of microscopic objects. We report the proof-of-principle experiment via frequency conversion inside a cavity only for the converted light.

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.

Holographic acoustic tweezers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 Significance Holographic optical tweezers use focused light to manipulate multiple objects independently without contact. They are used in tasks such as measuring the spring constant of DNA, the pulling force of the kinesin protein, or to trap matter in exotic states. Differently, acoustic tweezers use sound radiation forces to trap particles
