Background The tip of an optical fiber has been considered an attractive platform in Biology.
The simple cleaved end of an optical fiber can be machined, patterned and/or …

Bessel beams (BBs) have gained prominence thanks to their diffraction-free propagation
and self-healing properties. These beams are conventionally generated using different …

In the last few decades, optical trapping has played an unique role concerning contactless
trapping and manipulation of biological specimens. More recently, optical fiber tweezers …

The rapid development of fiber lasers is being followed by wide ranges of applications in
laser processing technologies. One of the key parameters to determine the laser–matter …

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a fiber-based Bessel optical trap for the
simultaneous trapping of both high-refractive-index particle and a low-refractive-index …

We report a new method to optically manipulate a single dielectric particle along closed-loop
polygonal trajectories by crossing a suite of all-fiber Bessel-like beams within a single water …

Whilst free space Bessel modes can show particle guidance over extended distances, this
has been limited for fiber-based Bessel-like beams which have importance for microfluidic …

We propose and demonstrate an all-fiber Bessel optical tweezers for multiple microparticles
(yeast cells) three-dimensional (3-D) trap. To the best knowledge of us, it is the first time to …

Optical fibre micro/nano tips (OFTs), defined here as tapered fibres with a waist diameter
ranging from a few microns to tens of nanometres and different tip angles (ie, from tens of …

We propose and demonstrate a single fiber optical tweezers based on a hollow annular-
core fiber (HACF), which is available for living cells manipulating and sterile transporting …
