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 …

Due to their promising applications, hollow-core fibers, in particular, their anti-resonant
versions, have recently attracted the attention of the photonics community. Here, we …

Sensors are devices or systems able to detect, measure and convert magnitudes from any
domain to an electrical one. Using light as a probe for optical sensing is one of the most …
