Author:McLaren, M; Sidderas-Haddad, E; Forbes, ADate:Sep 2011It is now well known that matter may be trapped by optical fields with high intensity gradients. Once trapped, it is then possible to manipulate microscopic particles using such optical fields, in so-called optical tweezers. Such optical ...Read more
