Optical Tweezers 'Methods and Applications'

Bringing together many landmark papers on the field, this compendium covers the techniques and applications of optical tweezers. It covers Arthur Ashkin’s initial work on radiation pressure and the immediate progress following his seminal demonstration. The expert contributors explore recent biological, colloidal, and microfluidic applications. They also analyze the mechanisms underpinning basic tweezer force and the interaction among many particles held within multiple tweezer systems. In addition, they explain the conversion of optical tweezers into optical spanners as well as the creation of holographic tweezers using spatial light modulators.
