The idea of using optical beams to attract objects has long been a dream of scientists and
the public alike. Over the years, a number of proposals have attempted to bring this concept …

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 …

Propulsive effects of light, which often remain unnoticed in our daily-life experience, manifest
themselves on spatial scales ranging from subatomic to astronomical. Light-mediated forces …

Speckles commonly satisfy Rayleigh statistics. However, in many applications, non-Rayleigh
speckles with customized intensity statistics are desirable. Here, we present a general …

Light carries energy and momentum. It can therefore alter the motion of objects on the
atomic to astronomical scales. Being widely available, readily controllable, and broadly …

Nonlinear disordered systems are not only a model system for fundamental studies but also
in high demand for practical applications. However, optical nonlinearity based on intrinsic …

We experimentally generate speckle patterns with non-Rayleigh statistics using a phase-
only spatial light modulator. By introducing high order correlations to the input light fields we …

The motion of particles in random potentials occurs in several natural phenomena ranging
from the mobility of organelles within a biological cell to the diffusion of stars within a galaxy …
