However, achieving precise control over their dynamics remains a significant challenge. In this study, we introduce a microengine that exploits both optical and thermal effects to achieve a high degree of controllability. We find that in the presence of a strongly focused light beam, a gold-silica Janus particle becomes confined at the stationary point where the optical and thermal forces balance. By using circularly polarized light, we can transfer angular momentum to the particle, breaking the symmetry between the two forces and resulting in a tangential force that drives directed orbital motion. We can simultaneously control the velocity and direction of rotation of the particle changing the ellipticity of the incoming light beam while tuning the radius of the orbit with laser power. Our experimental results are validated using a geometrical optics phenomenological model that considers the optical force, the absorption of optical power, and the resulting heating of the particle.

Although this focused field carries neither optical orbital angular momentum nor optical chirality, the lateral optical force can rotate the particle with opposite chirality around opposite directions, achieving an effective optical enantioseparation. Such a counterintuitive phenomenon is closely related to the transformation of the magnetic spin angular momentum of the focused field into the mechanical orbital angular momentum of the particle. In addition, the particle with different chirality parameters will be trapped in different orbits while with opposite chirality trapped in the same orbit, meanwhile its rotation direction is determined by the sign of the chirality parameter, which can realize an efficient chiral identification of single particles.

After introducing available microrobotic propulsion and control mechanisms, microrobots that are manufactured and powered by light are focused herein. Referring to pioneering works and recent interesting examples, light is presented not only as a fabrication tool, by means of two-photon polymerization direct laser writing, but also as an actuator for microrobots in both hard and soft stimuli-responsive polymers. In this scenario, a number of challenges that yet prevent polymeric light-powered microrobots from reaching their full potential are identified, whereas potential solutions to overcome said challenges are suggested. As an outlook, a number of real-world applications that light-powered microrobots should be particularly suited for are mentioned, together with the advances needed for them to achieve such purposes.

However, one of the biggest challenges for CGHs is the fundamental tradeoff between algorithm runtime and achieved reconstruction fidelity and efficiency while maintaining light projections at real-time frame rates. In addition, the light projection quality achieved by most CGH-modalities are rather low due to the mismatch between the optical wave propagation of the applied Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) and its simulated model. A promising new avenue of CGH, neural holography, utilizes machine learning models in the generation of single and multi plane holograms. Neural network generated holograms have the distinct advantage that inference is performed in constant time without the need for iterative calculations of the phase SLM pattern. This allows the networks to generate holograms 3-500 times faster than traditional iterative algorithms, which enables the applications dependent on real-time holography. State-of-the-art implementations of neural holography [1, 2] furthermore achieve higher accuracy than traditional iterative algorithm, when compared to target images. Applications of these SLM-encoded CGHs include all areas where a fast and parallel one-or two-photon light excitation is needed such as in Laser Material Processing, Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing, Neurophotonics and Optogenetics, Laser Image Projection and many more. © 2021 SPIE.}, keywords = {light; complex networks; iterative methods; spatial light modulators; BACKPROPAGATION; Wave propagation; Laser excitation; Holograms; Iterative algorithm; Computer generated holography; Light modulation; Light modulators; laser materials processing; Machine learning models; 3D printers; laser material processing; Iterative calculation; Optical wave propagation; Real-time frame rates; Real-time holography}, year = {2021} } @article{MTMT:32361425, title = {Two-Photon Polymerization: Functionalized Microstructures, Micro-Resonators, and Bio-Scaffolds}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32361425}, author = {Otuka, Adriano J.

Based on Fresnel diffraction theory and the intensity distribution function of focal spot, the focal spot shape is simulated and the main factors affecting the light intensity distribution are analyzed theoretically and simulated numerically. We propose a shaping method to improve the asymmetric shape of the facula by adding a prefocusing lens. According to the mechanism of femtosecond-laser super-resolution processing, we propose a beam shaping method using four-ring complex transmittance phase plate to achieve super-resolution processing. The phase plate was optimized on the global optimization algorithm and genetic algorithm. The validation experiment was carried out by scanning the photochromic material film with pulsed laser and reading the fluorescence signal of the photochromic point with single photon confocal. The experimental results show that the facula distribution is approximately symmetrical, and the size of facula is decreased obviously. The compression ratio is basically consistent with the theoretical calculation results. Therefore, super-resolution processing can be achieved by adding pre-focusing lens and phase plate to shaping the laser beam.

Collisions between EV projectiles and atomic targets can provide some insight into these interactions and we present here fully differential cross sections (FDCS) for ionization of excited state atomic hydrogen targets using EV projectiles.

It is one of the most precise additive manufacturing technologies ever developed in both scientific and industrial fields. Despite already appearing as commercially available setup still some active engineering is being carried out, for instance, implementation of active autofocusing and machine vision for sample detection and positioning. In order to achieve resolution of structuring required for microoptical and PhC structures operational at visible spectral range, the feature dimensions should be controlled with 10 nm spatial precision. Despite recent advances in techniques’ versatility, regarding specifically optical applications, the research inherits some gaps due to an initial pure engineering approach to 3D fabrication. For instance, the materials designed for 3D direct laser writing (DLW) are not fully (or barely at all) characterized and their optical performance and reliability have to be established. Thus, despite the DLW technique being mature and commercially available, some standard knowledge for its application in fabricating microoptical and photonic devices must be considerably improved, namely, the linear and nonlinear properties of the material itself, its modulation due to DLW structuring and postprocessing, taking into account various side effects and artifacts, e.g., an optical resistance.

In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a laser-induced rotary micromotor operated by Delta alpha-type photopheresis in pure liquid glycerol, whose energy conversion ratio reaches as high as 10(-9), which is 3-6 orders of magnitude higher than that of previous light-induced micromotor devices. In addition, we operate the micromotor neither with a light field carrying angular momentum nor with a rotor with a special rotating symmetrical shape. We just employ an annular-core fiber to configure a conical-shaped light field and select a piece of graphite sheet (with an irregular shape) as the micro-rotor. The Delta alpha-type photophoretic force introduced by the conical-shaped light field drives the rotation of the graphite sheet. We achieve a rotation rate up to 818.2 r/min, which can be controlled by tuning the incident laser power. This optical rotary micromotor is available for twisting macromolecules or generating vortex and shear force in a medium at the nanoscale.

Optical vortex fields of widely varying forms and degrees of complexity can be realised in the laboratory by a host of different means. The interference between such beams with designated orbital angular momenta and optical spins (the latter is associated with wave polarisations) can be structured to conform to various geometrical arrangements. The focus of this review is on how such tailored forms of light can exert a controllable influence on atoms with which they interact. The main physical effects involve atoms in motion due to application of optical forces. The now mature area of atom optics has had notable successes both of fundamental nature and in applications such as atom lasers, atom guides and Bose-Einstein condensates. The concepts in atom optics encompass not only atomic beams interacting with light, but atomic motion in general as influenced by optical and other fields. Our primary concern in this review is on atoms in structured light where, in particular, the twisted nature of the light is made highly complex with additional features due to wave polarisation. These features bring to the fore a variety of physical phenomena not realisable in the context of atomic motion in more conventional forms of laser light. Atoms near resonance with such structured light fields become subject to electromagnetic fields with complex polarisation and phase distributions, as well as intricately structured intensity gradients and radiative forces. From the combined effect of optical spin and orbital angular momenta, atoms may also experience forces and torques involving an interplay between the internal and centre of mass degrees of freedom. Such interactions lead to new forms of processes including scattering, trapping and rotation and, as a result, they exhibit characteristic new features at the micro-scale and below. A number of distinctive properties involving angular momentum exchange between the light and the atoms are highlighted, and prospective applications are discussed.

Additive manufacturing approaches to such objects via laser two-photon polymerization, also known as multiphoton fabrication, enable the creation of new materials with diverse and tunable properties. Here, we investigate the properties of 3D structures composed of organometallic polymers incorporating aluminium, titanium, vanadium and zirconium. The organometallic polymer-based materials were analysed using a variety of techniques including SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and contact angle measurements and their biocompatibility was tested in vitro. Cell viability and mode of death were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining. Polymers incorporating Al, Ti and Zr supported cell adhesion and proliferation, and showed low toxicity in vitro, whereas the organometallic polymer incorporating V was shown to be cytotoxic. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry suggested that leaching of the V from the organometallic polymer is the likely cause of this. The preparation of the organometallic polymers is straightforward and both simple 2D and complex 3D structures can be fabricated with ease. Resolution tests of the newly developed organometallic polymer incorporating Al show that suspended lines with widths down to 200 nm can be fabricated.

The total fields of this system are shown to display novel amplitude and phase distributions and are shown to give rise to a ring or a finite ring lattice composed of double rings and single central ring. When the beams have slightly different frequencies the ring lattice pattern becomes a finite set of rotating Ferris wheels and the whole pattern also moves axially between the focal planes.

The needle-like crystals of BOV1N bend away from the UV light upon irradiation for several seconds. Such rapid elastic deformation could be repeated several times. It should be noted that -type and -type cyclobutane derivatives D-BOV1N (the dimer of BOV1N) are afforded as the main product and byproduct, respectively, after the microcrystals were exposed to 365 nm light for 5 min. Since the photo-induced [2+2] cycloaddition shortens the distance of the olefin pairs and makes the terminal units stretch outside the molecular long axle, the strain in the phototropic surface of the crystal can be yielded and accumulated. The release of the accumulated strain leads to the bending of the needle-like crystals backwards to the UV light. Thus, it was reasonable that the thinner fibers exhibited more rapid and significant movements on account of the high topo-photochemical reaction efficiency. The molecular crystals of BOV1NF, BOV2N, and BOV2NM exhibited similar photomechanic effects. We also found that the UV irradiation parallel to the long axis of crystals would not drive the crystals to move.

Process experiments of femtosecond laser two-photon photopolymerization were carried out using the material of liquid polymer. The experimental results indicate that the size of single solidification point reduces and the fabrication resolution improves with the reduction of laser power. The surface roughness value of the fabricated parts decreases, and the fabrication efficiency reduces with the scanning step reducing. 3D micro/nano structures composed of micro walls and nano wires was designed with CAD software and fabricated with two -photon photopolymerization of femtosecond laser. Nano wire whose diameter was smaller than 100 nm was fabricated after optimizing the process parameters.

Micro-robots will be able to reach deep inside the human body as it contains an enormous and intricate network of ducts and vessels filled with liquids.

Consequently, several issues emerged due to different physical characteristics of the desired dimensions, immune responses of living organisms, sensing and control while performing deep in tissue, and limitations on the power supply methods to sustain actuation and maneuvering. The latest approach to address all these issues is to employ natural swimmers with computer control to deliver cargo instead resulting in micro cybernetic systems.
