Shaping the future of manipulation (2011, background): “and can create extended conveyor belts for the controlled delivery of microparticles over millimetre distance”
Sub-micron particle organization by self-imaging of non-diffracting beams (2006, methodology): “Several other publications also dealt with the interference of Gaussian, Laguerre–Gaussian or BBs of different widths but they were more focused on the design of ‘bottle beams’—beams with intensity minimum surrounded by intensity maximum [17]–[23] or braided nodal lines in wave superposition [24].”
Optical trapping with structured light: a review (2021, methodology): “The delivering of particles was achieved by dynamically changing the phase of one of the beams, which in turn causes the whole structure of nodes and antinodes to shift along the optical axis of the standing wave.(118) In 2008, a practical application was demonstrated, where microspheres trapped wit”
Multiple optical trapping and binding: new routes to self-assembly (2010, methodology): “Dynamic interference optical landscapes were used for long-distance delivery of objects in free space or near the surface [53, 54].”
