The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

On-chip manipulation of single microparticles, cells, and organisms using surface acoustic waves (2012, background): “5 nW∕μm(2) for particle velocities of approximately 30 μm∕s, which is much lower than its optical counterparts (10,000,000 times less than optical tweezers and 100 times less than optoelectronic tweezers) (20, 46).”
Developing optofluidic technology through the fusion of microfluidics and optics (2006, methodology): “A particularly interesting method was recently developed in which both light and electric fields are combined to effect particle manipulatio”
Optical macro-tweezers: trapping of highly motile micro-organisms (2011, background): “Optoelectronic tweezers [19] use a weak light field to dynamically control an electric field pattern to manipulate motile protozoans [20].”
Electrokinetic motion of particles and cells in microchannels (2009, methodology): “In order to generate desired DEP force, alternative method has been developed using optically induced non-uniform electric field (Chiou et al. 2005), which is called image DEP (imDEP).”
Optical manipulation with metamaterial structures (2022, background): “(18) represents the optical force from the intensity gradient, which is the same as the first term on the right side of Eq.”
