Journal ArticleDOI
Optical manipulation of nanoparticles: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present several theoretical approaches to calculate the optical forces exerted on trapped nanoparticles and compare them with the results of a single-beam optical trap, and a close look into the key experiments to date demonstrates the feasibility of trapping and provides a grasp of the enormous possibilities that remain to be explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical vortex trap for resonant confinement of metal nanoparticles
TL;DR: This letter experimentally realise a novel trapping geometry near the plasmon resonance using an annular light field possessing a helical phasefront that confines the nanoparticle to the vortex core (dark) region.
Journal ArticleDOI
A compact holographic optical tweezers instrument.
Graham M. Gibson,Richard Bowman,Anna Linnenberger,Maria Dienerowitz,David B. Phillips,D. M. Carberry,Mervyn J Miles,Miles J. Padgett +7 more
TL;DR: A compact, stable, holographic optical tweezers instrument which can be easily transported and is compatible with a wide range of microscopy techniques, making it a valuable tool for collaborative research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expanding the toolbox for nanoparticle trapping and spectroscopy with holographic optical tweezers
TL;DR: In this article, a workstation based on holographic tweezers was developed to optically trap, move and characterize metal nanoparticles using a dark-field imaging system, which can simultaneously image and take spectra of single trapped metal particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holographic aberration correction: optimising the stiffness of an optical trap deep in the sample
TL;DR: The effects of 1(st) order spherical aberration and defocus upon the stiffness of an optical trap tens of μm into the sample are investigated and a specific non-trivial combination of defocus and axial objective position is selected.
