Optical Tweezers
Dear friends,
This Wednesday (November 10) we will continue our trip on optical trapping. This time we will focus on the principle and applications of Optical Tweezers. For that we will read sections VII and VIII of the paper by Ashkin (same of last week), seams long but there is not much theory in it, it is mainly about applications.
On the other hand, the theory is based on geometrical optics, so we can have a nice discussion if we think about the effect of reflection, index of refractions, etc.
See you on Wednesday at 12:30
Cheers
Adonis
