Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trap**, and
manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work …

Holographic techniques are fundamental to applications such as volumetric displays, high-
density data storage and optical tweezers that require spatial control of intricate optical or …

The fact that light carries both linear and angular momentum is well-known to physicists.
One application of the linear momentum of light is for optical tweezers, in which the …

Light-induced rotation of microscopic objects is of general interest as the objects may serve
as micromotors. Such rotation can be driven by the angular momentum of light or recoil …

The growing demand for electronic devices, smart devices, and the Internet of Things
constitutes the primary driving force for marching down the path of decreased critical …

The concept of lateral optical force (LOF) is of general interest in optical manipulation as it
releases the constraint of intensity gradient in tightly focused light, yet such a force is …

Generally, an optical vortex lattice (OVL) is generated via the superposition of two specific
vortex beams. Thus far, OVL has been successfully employed to trap atoms via the dark …
