Managed by Optica
25 - 30 Jan 2015
Trapping Techniques: designs of optical traps, force calibration techniques, quantitative measurements of forces and spring constants. Biological Applications: investigations of DNA, RNA, molecular motors and other biomolecules, applications of laser micro-beams. Diffractive Tweezers: holographic tweezers, spatial light modulators, trapping arrays, size-selective trapping Assembly and Micro-Fluidics: optical binding, self-assembly of colloidal particles, optical sorting, nano-cages. Special Modes: orbital angular momentum of light, optical doughnuts, Bessel beams
