Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and
manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work …

From the early optical-tweezers approach, which uses a single tightly focused laser beam to
levitate dielectric or absorbing micron-sized particles, to the recently developed optical traps …

New approaches for the sensitive and accurate quantification of aerosol optical properties
are needed to improve the current understanding of the unique physical chemistry of …

Cosmic dust plays a dominant role in the universe, especially in the formation of stars and
planetary systems. Furthermore, the surface of cosmic dust grains is the benchwork where …

Characterization, identification, and detection of aerosol particles in their native atmospheric
states remain a challenge. Recently, optical trapping-Raman spectroscopy (OT-RS) has …

We present a broad assessment on the studies of optically-trapped single airborne aerosol
particles, particularly chemical aerosol particles, using laser technologies. To date …

Optical tweezers are powerful tools based on focused laser beams. They are able to trap,
manipulate, and investigate a wide range of microscopic and nanoscopic particles in …

The paper presents a comprehensive review of the literature that assesses various
