However, a precise rotation of large cells in 3D about arbitrary axes has not been reported yet with dual-beam traps. We introduce a novel multi-core fiber-based dual-beam optical trap using wavefront shaping. Real-time controlled rotation of HL60 cells for cancer studies is demonstrated. For the first time, the orientation of the cell can be precisely controlled about all 3D axes in a dual beam trap. Multi-core fibers provide much higher flexibility beyond the bulky optics, enabling lab-on-a-chip applications and can be easily integrated for applications like non-invasive refractive index tomography and cell-elasticity measurements.","PeriodicalId":311295,"journal":{"name":"Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation XVIII","volume":"247 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123390434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This arises because of the substantial optical intensity required, which poses photo-induced damage to the biomolecules. In this talk, I will introduce a new kind of optically controlled nanotweezers termed Opto-Thermo-Electrohydrodynamic Tweezers (OTET) that enables the stable trapping and dynamic manipulation of sub-10 nm biomolecules at locations that are several microns away from the high-intensity laser focus, where they experience both negligible photothermal heating and light intensity. \u0000This novel non-invasive optical nanotweezer is expected to open new horizons in life science and medicine by offering an unprecedented level of control of tiny nano-sized biological objects in solution without photo-induced damage.","PeriodicalId":311295,"journal":{"name":"Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation XVIII","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127211401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scheme uses an asymmetric cavity as a dispersion medium to spread out the photon temporally, and subsequently a phase modulator, to modify the spectral energy distribution of the photons. The spectral bandwidth of the photons was compressed by a factor of 2.6, from 20.6 MHz to less than 8 MHz, almost matching the corresponding atomic transition linewidth of 6 MHz. The spectral compression scheme can potentially be adapted to a wide range of wavelengths and spectral widths.","PeriodicalId":311295,"journal":{"name":"Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation XVIII","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116817431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
