Optical trapping and manipulation of objects down to the Ångstrom level has revolutionized research at the smallest scales in all natural sciences. The flexibility of optical trapping …
We present the use of Au bowtie nanoantenna arrays (BNAs) for highly efficient, multipurpose particle manipulation with unprecedented low input power and low-numerical …
In this work, we present the experimental optical trap of microparticles with an Airy beams array using holographic optical tweezers. The Airy beams array is attractive for optical …
We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that phase gradients in a light field can be used to create a new category of optical traps complementary to the more familiar …
The diffraction-limited resolution of light focused by a lens was derived in 1873 by Ernst Abbe. Later in 1952, a method to reach sub-diffraction light spots was proposed by …
