Applications of Holographic Optical Tweezers: Multiplexed Fluorescence Spectroscopy and the Micromechanics of Type-I Collagen

Creator:

Cibula, Matthew A.

Abstract:

The development and some applications of holographic optical tweezers (HOT) are presented. Our HOT system uses a spatial light modulator (SLM) to control the location and properties of the optical trap. We have developed a method for optimizing the diffraction efficiency of a SLM that can be applied in situ...

Optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in capillaries

Creator:

Almaqwashi, Ali

Abstract:

In an effort to develop an optical-acoustical understanding of ultrasound contrast agent microbubble dynamics in a micro-environment that resembles blood vessels, this thesis presents experimental work on optical trapping and acoustical probing of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles confined in regenerated cellulose capillaries. First, we showed by acoustical means that the...
