We photopolymerize complex-shaped particles within glass cells consisting of a standard microscope slide and a 170 渭m-thick coverslip, spaced by 50 渭m-thick strips of Mylar films. The cell is 鈥渟andwiching鈥� a droplet of photoresist. The multiphoton polymerization setup consists of a tunable femto-second pulsed Titanium:Sapphire laser operating at wavelength of...

Full Holonomic control of colloidal particles is achieved by combining mostly rotational magnetic manipulation with translational manipulation by holographic optical tweezers (HOT) in a single integrated setup shown in the Figure. This allows us to define arbitrary positions and orientations of individual and multiple particles of interest. The HOT is...

Multifunctional Raman micro-spectroscopy is implemented using an inverted microscope (IX-71, Olympus), SpectraPro-275 spectrometer (Acton Research Corporation), an electron multiplying charge coupled device (EMCCD, iXon 3 888, Andor Technology), and a continuous-wave 532-nm laser. The system includes a single beam optical trapping using 1064 nm laser beam, rotating particle detection, 3D...

In SRS-PM, two beams, pump (at frequency 蠅 p ) and Stokes (at frequency 蠅 s < 蠅 p ), combine to amplify the Stokes Raman signal when the difference between 蠅 p and 蠅 s equals the vibrational frequency (蠅 vib ) of a certain chemical bond in the...
