Gold nanorods (NRs), pseudo-one-dimensional rod-shaped nanoparticles (NPs), have
become one of the burgeoning materials in the recent years due to their anisotropic shape …

Progress in optical manipulation has stimulated remarkable advances in a wide range of
fields, including materials science, robotics, medical engineering, and nanotechnology. This …

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic nanoparticles and
nanostructures has attracted wide attention because the nanoparticles exhibit a strong near …

We employ photothermally driven self-assembly of colloidal particles to design microscopic
structures with programmable size and tunable order. The experimental system is based on …

On-line vibration monitoring plays an important role in the fault diagnosis and prognosis of
industrial belt drive systems. This paper presents a novel measurement technique based on …

We propose a method for opto-thermophoretic trapping with a 2 µm Tm-doped fiber laser.
The infrared continuous-wave laser beam is directly and strongly absorbed by water …

In this paper, we provide the semianalytical solution of the temperature and flow fields of a
fluid confined in a narrow space between two parallel plates. The temperature increase is …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from gold and silver nanoparticles suspended
in solution enables a more quantitative level of analysis relative to SERS from aggregated …

A quantitative spectrometer-based photothermal optical coherence tomography (PT-OCT)
system is employed to investigate and image the photothermal trapping of gold nano-rods …

A method of efficient directional optical manipulation of nanoparticles based on a laser
photothermal trap is proposed, and the influence mechanism of external conditions on the …
