Contactless optical trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles utilizing SIBA mechanism and EDL force

Mahdi Sahafi

On-chip optical tweezers based on evanescent fields overcome the diffraction limit of the free-space optical tweezers and can be a promising technique for developing lab-on-a-chip devices. While such trapping allows for low-cost and precise manipulation, i ...

Scanning near-field optical microscopy with new probes and feedback modes

Anton Smirnov

Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) technique enables to overcome Abbe diffraction limit of far-field optics as well as to obtain simultaneously optical and topographical images. While the optical resolution of the method is limited by the apertu ...

Resonant optical trapping in hollow photonic crystal cavities and its potential use for bacterial characterisation

Rita Therisod

During the last decade, the development of optofluidic chips has become a large field of research. The integration of nano and microstructures with microfluidics layers allowed for the miniaturisation of a number of tools traditionally used in laboratories ...
