1. Optical Tweezers

   Methods and Applications

   Edited by Miles J. Padgett, Justin Molloy, David McGloin

   Series: Series in Optics and Optoelectronics

   The technical development of optical tweezers, along with their application in the biological and physical sciences, has progressed significantly since the demonstration of an optical trap for micron-sized particles based on a single, tightly focused laser beam was first reported more than twenty...

2. Optical Angular Momentum

   By L. Allen, Stephen M. Barnett, Miles J. Padgett

   Spin angular momentum of photons and the associated polarization of light has been known for many years. However, it is only over the last decade or so that physically realizable laboratory light beams have been used to study the orbital angular momentum of light. In many respects, orbital and spin...
