Nanometric optical tweezers based on nanostructured substrates (2008, background): “Several works have shown that conventional optical tweezers still allow one to suppress this brownian motion and to achieve nanometric accuracy of optical trapping (in relatively low bandwidth) by increasing the power of the laser beam, optimizing the sample properties or by using particles with a h”
Fundamentals and Applications of Slow Light (2010, background): “which is just the well known “scattering force” [53] on a dielectric sphere in a medium with refractive index nb, which may be taken to be real in the approximation in which the field is far from any absorption resonances of the sphere.”
In situ wavefront correction and its application to micromanipulation (2010, methodology): “We implemented our technique in a standard holographic optical tweezers (HOT) geometr”
