In many cell surgery applications, cell must be oriented properly such that the microsurgery
tool can access the target components with minimum damage to the cell. In this paper, a …

Ti: sapphire laser has an important position in ultrashort pulse generation and wavelength
tuning. The use of expensive frequency‐doubled diode‐pumped solid‐state laser as the …

HoloTile is a patented computer generated holography approach with the aim of reducing
the speckle noise caused by the overlap of the non-trivial physical extent of the point spread …

Improvements in the output power of a directly GaN diode-laser-pumped Ti: Al_2O_3 laser
are achieved by using double-sided pumping. In continuous wave operation, an output …

Research and biomedical applications in cell surgery require transportation and rotation of
biological cells. In these cell manipulation tasks, the cell of interest must be translated and …

The mechanical properties of yeast play an important role in many biological processes,
such as cell division and growth, maintenance of internal pressure, and biofilm formation. In …

Matrix-assisted pulsed-laser evaporation direct-write (MAPLE DW) has been emerging as a
