Optical manipulation has achieved great success in the fields of biology, micro/nano robotics
and physical sciences in the past few decades. To date, the optical manipulation is still …

Noninvasive and nondestructive techniques for monitoring and manipulating cells or
biomolecules are essential for understanding biological processes. Optical methodologies …

Optical nanoparticles are nowadays one of the key elements of photonics. They do not only
allow optical imaging of a plethora of systems (from cells to microelectronics), but, in many …

This review introduces the preparation, observation, and characterization of systems of
molecule polaritons. We summarize recent progress by our group on the control of …

The resonance between an electronic transition of a micro/nanoscale object and an incident
photon flux can modify the radiation force exerted on that object, especially at an interface. It …

So far, the optical trapping potential is controlled by tuning the physical conditions of the
system. Herein, for the first time, an approach, in which the induced optical force or optical …

Optical tweezers can control the position and orientation of individual colloidal particles in
solution. Such control is often desirable but challenging for single-particle spectroscopy and …

Gaining control on particle–particle interactions and in this way on their (self)‐assembled
structures is essentialfor colloidal and material sciences. Currently, different strategies are …

Room-temperature optical manipulation of small molecules is a challenging issue in the field
of material science. To increase optical force for a single molecule trapping, it has been …

We present an optical method for the manipulation of microparticles using two tilted-focused
beams. First, the action on the microparticles is studied with a single tilted-focused beam …
