Gold nanoparticle trapping and delivery for therapeutic applications
A new optical trapping design to transport gold nanoparticles using a PANDA ring resonator system is proposed. Intense optical fields in the form of dark solitons controlled by Gaussian pulses are used to trap and transport nanoscopic volumes of matter to the desired destination via an optical waveguide. Theoretically, the gradient and scattering forces are responsible for this trapping phenome...
متن کاملGold nanostructure assisted thermophoretic trapping of single nano-objects
The manipulation and trapping of nano-objects that undergo Brownian motion are of great interest in soft-matter sciences. Optical tweezing is the most common technique for the trapping of individual particles in solution and is based on the optical gradient force. Hence, a sufficiently high polarizability of the particle in the solution is required. While it is thus easy to trap single dielectr...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles: enhanced optical trapping and sensitivity coupled with significant heating.
Gold nanoparticles appear to be superior handles in optical trapping assays. We demonstrate that relatively large gold particles (R(b)=50 nm) indeed yield a sixfold enhancement in trapping efficiency and detection sensitivity as compared to similar-sized polystyrene particles. However, optical absorption by gold at the most common trapping wavelength (1064 nm) induces dramatic heating (266 degr...
متن کاملOptical trapping and manipulation of nanostructures.
Optical trapping and manipulation of micrometre-sized particles was first reported in 1970. Since then, it has been successfully implemented in two size ranges: the subnanometre scale, where light-matter mechanical coupling enables cooling of atoms, ions and molecules, and the micrometre scale, where the momentum transfer resulting from light scattering allows manipulation of microscopic object...
