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 …

Optical forces can be used to manipulate biological and colloidal material in a non-contact
manner. This forms the foundation of a wealth of exciting science, particularly in the fields of …

The interplay between the mechanical properties of cells and the forces that they produce
internally or that are externally applied to them play an important role in maintaining the …

Holographic optical tweezers (HOT) hold great promise for many applications in
biophotonics, allowing the creation and measurement of minuscule forces on biomolecules …

Despite their overwhelming complexity, living cells display a high degree of internal
mechanical and functional organization which can largely be attributed to the intracellular …

We present a fiber-based method for generating vortex beams with a tunable value of orbital
angular momentum (OAM) from− 1 h to+ 1 h per photon. We propose a new method to …

Data capacity is rapidly reaching its limit in modern optical communications. Optical vortex
has been explored to enhance the data capacity for its extra degree of freedom of angular …

We present a new tomographic phase microscopy (TPM) approach that allows capturing the
three-dimensional refractive index structure of single cells in suspension without labeling …

Raman spectroscopy has been recognized to be a powerful tool for label-free discrimination
of cells. Sampling methods are under development to utilize the unique capabilities to …
