Structured Light and Its Applications

Informationen zum Autor David L. Andrews is Emeritus Professor of Chemical Physics at the University of East Anglia, UK. His research, covering a wide range of topics in spectroscopy, optics, photonics, and quantum science, has produced over four hundred scientific papers, nearly all of them applying the tools of molecular quantum electrodynamics. As an author and editor, he has already published more than twenty books, including Lasers in Chemistry , Resonance Energy Transfer , Structured Light and its Applications , Optical Nanomanipulation , and an Introduction to Photon Science and Technology . David has organized more than a hundred international conferences, both in Europe and North America, including several now well-established series : Complex Light and Optical Forces at Photonics West, Nanophotonics at Photonics Europe, and several iterations of the International Conference on Optical Angular Momentum . He is an awardee of the RSC Horizon Prize in 2022 and the IOP Thomas Young Award in 2023. David is a Fellow of SPIE the international society for optics and photonics; also Optica; the Institute of Physics; and the Royal Society of Chemistry. He served as elected President of SPIE in 2021.

The technology discussed in this book allows for applications in biosensing and structural health monitoring, as well as, targeted drug delivery and in vivo (within a living organism) molecular imaging - all important to improving bioengineering and the world of medicine. Andrews, a leader in the field of nanotechnology, has assembled key researchers and scientists to create the definitive and cutting-edge treatise on the subject of structured light. This contributed volume presents the technology and phenomena of what makes these bioengineering and optoelectrical advances possible structured light and the non-contact optical manipulation of matter. It surges past mature technology and applications such as focused laser trapping and optical tweezers to optical vortices and holographic optical trapping. Opportunities abound through these optical forces and their complex fields, this book will lead the reader through all of the information to the core of the research.

Zusammenfassung
New possibilities have emerged for producing optical beams with complex and intricate structures, and for the non-contact optical manipulation of matter.
