Optical forces are involved in many physical processes and are used routinely in the
laboratory for manipulating and cooling matter, from the micro down to the quantum scales. It …

Numerous examples for a priori unexpected non-Gaussian behaviour for normal and
anomalous diffusion have recently been reported in single-particle tracking experiments …

Anomalous diffusion, nonergodicity, and ageing for exponentially and logarithmically time-dependent
diffusivity: striking differences for massive versus massless particles - IOPscience This site …

A diffusive process that is reset to its origin at random times, so-called stochastic resetting
(SR) is an ubiquitous expedient in many natural systems\cite {Evans2011}. Beyond its ability …

Brownian motion in confinement and at interfaces is a canonical situation, encountered from
fundamental biophysics to nanoscale engineering. Using the Lorenz-Mie framework, we …

We characterize throughout the spectral range of an optical trap the nature of the noise that
drives the Brownian motion of an overdamped trapped single microsphere and its ergodicity …

This work discusses the effects of increasing laser power on the size data derived from NTA
for particles of known size and scatterers in solutions of flufenamic acid in ethanol. We find …

We study experimentally the impact of inertial reference frame changes on overdamped
Brownian motion. The reference frame changes are implemented by inducing, with a laser …

This thesis explores the properties of different stochastic processes within an optical
trapping setup. The manipulation of Brownian trajectories in experimental optical traps relies …

In this manuscript, I present the work done during my PhD on confined Brownian motion.
Brownian motion is the erratic movement of microscopic particles when immersed into a …
