Optical manipulation and photophoretic forces offer transformative tools for the control and analysis of aerosol particles. Optical trapping utilises highly focused light beams to exert radiation ...

The lithium niobate thin-film modulator was designed to achieve a modulation frequency of 350 kHz within the 0–2π phase range, further realizing high speed control of optical field coherence.

Advancements in photonic integration demand high-speed, precise dynamic light field control and large-capacity information processing capability. As subwavelength artificial structures, metasurfaces ...

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have made a discovery that could pave the way for a transformative era in photonic technology. For decades, scientists have theorized the possibility of ...

MIT researchers have harnessed integrated optical phased array (OPA) technology to develop a type of integrated optical tweezers, akin to a miniature, chip-based “tractor beam”—like the one that ...

A recent study published in Advanced Optical Materials presents a novel method for depositing and patterning plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) onto solid surfaces, specifically glass, using a ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods rely on adhesive or mechanical forces to hold and scan cells, which limit ...
