Optical trapping describes the interaction between light and matter to manipulate micro-
objects through momentum transfer. In the case of 3D trapping with a single beam, this is …

Over the last two decades, the capabilities of metasurfaces in light modulation with
subwavelength thickness have been proven, and metasurfaces are expected to miniaturize …

The pace of innovations in the field of optical trapping has ramped up in the past couple of
years. The implementation of structured light, leading to groundbreaking inventions such as …

Diffraction is a phenomenon related to the wave nature of light and arises when a
propagating wave comes across an obstacle. Consequently, the wave can be transformed in …

Bessel beam featured with self-healing is essential to the optical sensing applications in the
obstacle scattering environment. Integrated on-chip generation of the Bessel beam …

Since the invention of optical tweezers, optical manipulation has advanced significantly in

A unique feature of non-Hermitian (NH) systems is the NH skin effect, ie, the edge
localization of an extensive number of bulk-band eigenstates in a lattice with open or semi …

Bessel beams are of great interest due to their unique non-diffractive properties. Using a
conical prism or an objective paired with an annular aperture are two typical approaches for …

A key challenge when imaging living cells is how to noninvasively extract the most
spatiotemporal information possible. Unlike popular wide-field and confocal methods, plane …

Non‐Gaussian beam profiles such as Bessel or annular beams enable novel approaches to
modifying materials through laser‐based processing. In this review paper, properties …
