Fundamental properties of light unavoidably impose features on images collected using
fluorescence microscopes. Accounting for these features is often critical in quantitatively …

When an intense 1,064-nm continuous-wave laser is tightly focused at solution surfaces, it
exerts an optical force on molecules, polymers, and nanoparticles (NPs). Initially, molecules …

Laser trap** at an interface provides a unique platform for assembling novel multiparticle-
based optical matter that extends well beyond the irradiated area. Optical binding, resulting …

Optical binding has recently gained considerable attention because it enables the light-
induced assembly of many-body systems; however, this phenomenon has only been …

Fast acquisition of depth information is crucial for accurate 3D tracking of moving objects.
Snapshot depth sensing can be achieved by wavefront coding, in which the point-spread …

The optical resonance between an absorbing particle and the trap** laser can enhance
the radiation force exerted on micro/nanoscale objects. However, the exact mechanism …

Map** of the spatial and temporal motion of particles inside an optical field is critical for
understanding and further improvement of the 3D spatio-temporal control over their optical …

Optical matter, a transient arrangement formed by the interaction of light with
micro/nanoscale objects, provides responsive and highly tunable materials that allow for …

Optical trap** of dielectric and metal particles yields different types of “optically evolving
assembly” at air/solution and glass/solution interfaces. However, all these structures have in …

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) is an advanced microscopy method that
uses the blinking of fluorescent molecules to determine the position of these molecules with …
