Optical "snowblowing" of microparticles and cells in a microfluidc environment using Airy and parabolic wavepackets
2009
Optical Trapping and Optical Micromanipulation VI
The year 2007 witnessed the experimental realization of extraordinary laser beams termed Airy and parabolic beams. Surprisingly, these beams are immune to diffraction and in addition exhibit transverse acceleration while propagating. This peculiar property of both Airy and parabolic beams facilitates the clearance of both microparticles and cells from a region in a sample chamber through particle/cell transport along curved trajectories. We term this concept "Optically mediated particle
