Photonic crystal fibers guide light by corralling it within a periodic array of microscopic air
holes that run along the entire fiber length. Largely through their ability to overcome the …

The techniques of optical trapping and manipulation of neutral particles by lasers provide
unique means to control the dynamics of small particles. These new experimental methods …

We calculate, within the pseudopotential approximation, a one-dimensional scattering
amplitude and effective one-dimensional interaction potential for atoms confined …

We demonstrate and analyse a method for efficiently generating a high-order Bessel beam
of arbitrary order by illuminating an axicon with the appropriate Laguerre–Gaussian light …

We report the experimental realization of an optical trap that localizes single Cs atoms≃ 215
nm from the surface of a dielectric nanofiber. By operating at magic wavelengths for pairs of …

Virtually all electronic and optoelectronic devices necessitate a challenging assembly of
conducting, semiconducting and insulating materials into specific geometries with low …

Conventional solid-core optical fibres require highly transparent materials. Such materials
have been difficult to identify owing to the fundamental limitations associated with the …

We review the combinations of optical micro‐manipulation with other techniques and their
classical and emerging applications to non‐contact optical separation and sorting of micro …

A promising approach to merge atomic systems with scalable photonics has emerged
recently, which consists of trapping cold atoms near tapered nanofibers. Here, we describe a …
