Optical trapping and laser-spectroscopy measurements of single particles in air: a review

Abstract: From the early optical-tweezers approach, which uses a single tightly focused laser beam to levitate dielectric or absorbing micron-sized particles, to the recently developed optical traps such as the universal optical trap (UOT), which can trap particles of arbitrary chemical and physical properties in different media, optical trapping (OT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. Research in OT has been extended from single-particle control to single-particle measurements. One of the most rapid devel… Show more

“…Previously, quantitative measurements of atmospherically relevant reactions on levitated, solid particles were achieved by monitoring the time evolution of Raman signatures of the trapped particles [34][35][36] . Kinetics of evaporation, hydration and coagulation of levitated micro-droplets were studied in general by combining optical trapping with other optical techniques [37][38][39][40] . The approach presented here is amenable to in-situ simultaneous spectroscopic and precise physical properties measurements.…”

“…In consequence, all these phenomena could be potentially harnessed for remote characterisation of composite microdroplets and diverse studies have been carried out in this field (see e.g. [2][3][4][5] for reviews). However, the interaction of light (scattering, luminescence) with composite microdroplets becomes much more complex than for a homogeneous sphere (described with Mie theory, see e.g.…”
