About Optical Trapping Applications

Different optical trapping schemes are widely used to uncover aspects of matter-light interactions in the microscopic and submicroscopic domains. A broad range of physical and biological phenomena are elucidated in more detail thanks to the use of these schemes. This meeting explores the applications of novel optical trapping and manipulation techniques, including the use of evanescent fields, plasmonics, microfluidics, integrated lab-on-a-chip technologies, parallel optical sorting, innovation in optical methods for cellular biology and the current state of the art in fundamental concepts of optical trapping.
