This Letter presents 1064-nm surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) on an optical
fiber probe, or 1064-nm-SERS-on-fiber. Metallic nanoparticles are printed on an optical fiber …

Abstract Since Nobel Laureate Arthur Ashkin first introduced the trapping and manipulation
of microparticles using light, numerous studies have explored this technique not only for …

Optothermal traps including vortex ones, have been implemented to capture and manipulate
transparent and absorbing micro-objects. The current study deals with latex microspheres of …
