Frontiers of Optomechanics of Nanocrystals
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploration of the materials world at micro- or nanoscale asks for significant manipulation technologies to control nanomaterials in precise and versatile manner. Optical manipulation in regarded as one of the most promising platform due to non-contact interaction, high accuracy, and flexibility in light management. Physically, optical manipulation arises from the optomechanic coupling during the light-matter interaction, which includes direct momentum transfer between photons and nanomaterials and multiple-field coupling to convert optical energy to mechanical energy. The response of nanocrystals to the light-generated force field provides opportunities to trap or actuate the nanocrystals for a variety of applications in functional photonic devices, biosensing and nanomedicine. The present multidisciplinary topic on “Frontiers of Optomechanics of Nanocrystals” will summarize the most recent progress in this field, including but not limited to optical trapping, optical levitation, optical micromachines, optical printing, and optical assembly, as well as their cutting-edge applications. We expect that this multidisciplinary topic will provide new guidance for the design of optomechanic nanosystems for future technical innovation and applications.
