We demonstrate that laser pulse duration, which determines its impulsive peak power, is an
effective parameter to control the number of optically trapped dielectric nanoparticles, their …

We present a method for the precise calculation of optical forces due to a tightly-focused
pulsed laser beam using generalized Lorenz–Mie theory or the T-matrix method. This …

Optical tweezers use strongly focused light for trap**, characterizing, and manipulating
objects in the microscopic and nanoscopic regimes. However, fully understanding optical …

We present bidirectional polymorphic conversion of L-phenylalanine by focused
femtosecond laser irradiation. When the femtosecond laser beam is focused at an …

Repetitive drag and release dynamics by impulsive force is characteristic of optical trap**
by femtosecond laser pulses. We studied the dynamics utilizing double pulse train and …

We present a comparative study of continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed optical tweezers for
trap** polystyrene beads with radii of 250 nm, 500 nm, and 1 μm, using five different laser …

We investigated femtosecond laser trap** dynamics of silica nanoparticles with different
hydrophobic surface properties. We demonstrated that the hydrophobic surface on the silica …
