Overview of a technique for trapping and manipulation of micro and nanoparticles with light, sound, temperature gradients, and electric fields

Optoelectronic Tweezers for Manipulation at the Micro and Nano Scale takes readers on a journey to explore the fascinating world of Optoelectronic Tweezers (OET) and their applications in micro- and nano-scale manipulation. Starting from the evolution of nanotechnology, this book delves into the development of optical micromanipulation technologies such as Optical Tweezers (OT) and the emergence of OET as a cutting-edge technology with superior performance in various aspects. The fundamental principles of OET, its significance, and diverse applications across different fields are meticulously examined.

This book covers the working mechanisms, operational principles, optical foundations, photovoltaic effects, and material selection processes in OET technology. Detailed insights into the components of OET devices, including standard OET and photovoltaic OET, are provided, along with a comprehensive analysis of manipulation forces and dielectrophoretic effects within OET chips.

Written by a highly qualified researcher and author in the field, Optoelectronic Tweezers for Manipulation at the Micro and Nano Scale includes information on:

• Practical applications of OET in biomedical fields, showcasing its efficacy in cell sorting, trapping, lysis, patterning, immunoreaction analysis, DNA transfection, and other crucial biological processes
• Versatility of OET in manipulating a myriad of micro and nano objects, ranging from living organisms like cells and bacteria to non-living entities such as nanoparticles and microspheres
• Integration of OET with complementary technologies like microfluidics, photocuring, electrowetting, and image recognition
• Interplay of optical principles, light sources, and photovoltaic mechanisms in OET setups

Providing deep knowledge into the boundless opportunities offered by OET technology, Optoelectronic Tweezers for Manipulation at the Micro and Nano Scale is an excellent reference on the subject for materials scientists, thermodynamics physicists, and laser specialists, along with all professionals in the optical industry.
