“…Subsequently, the criticism was addressed by Adachi, Brazard, and Urquidi . The authors have shown estimations (based on two different models , ) of the temperature increase due to the 532 nm CW laser absorption, under their experimental conditions in aqueous glycine solutions, along with experimental results of temperature measurements for an SnCl 2 aqueous solution varying laser power from 150 mW to 1.2 W. All of those show negligible (or no) temperature increases.…”

“…Subsequently, the criticism was addressed by Adachi, Brazard, and Urquidi. 135 The authors have shown estimations (based on two different models 112,136 ) of the temperature increase due to the 532 nm CW laser absorption, under their experimental conditions in aqueous glycine solutions, along with experimental results of temperature measurements for an SnCl 2 aqueous solution varying laser power from 150 mW to 1.2 W. All of those show negligible (or no) temperature increases. The possibility of laser trapping of nanoscale objects was also highlighted, as predicted under the Rayleigh regime, and shown experimentally using fluorescent-label-doped nanoparticles (120 nm) trapped with 785 nm continuous-wave laser.…”

Crystallization abounds in nature and industrial practice. A plethora of indispensable products ranging from agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals to battery materials are produced in crystalline form in industrial practice. Yet, our control over the crystallization process across scales, from molecular to macroscopic, is far from complete. This bottleneck not only hinders our ability to engineer the properties of crystalline products essential for maintaining our quality of life but also hampers progress toward a sustainable circular economy in resource recovery. In recent years, approaches leveraging light fields have emerged as promising alternatives to manipulate crystallization. In this review article, we classify laser-induced crystallization approaches where light-material interactions are utilized to influence crystallization phenomena according to proposed underlying mechanisms and experimental setups. We discuss nonphotochemical laser-induced nucleation, high-intensity laser-induced nucleation, laser trapping-induced crystallization, and indirect methods in detail. Throughout the review, we highlight connections among these separately evolving subfields to encourage the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.

“…24 However, some controversies did arise related to the use of optical trapping in this work, which may be likely to attract amorphous aggregates present in solution, rather than states associated with the nucleation process. 25,26 Therefore, the potential of Raman spectroscopy in studying the processes associated to nucleation and crystallization is still not completely clear.…”

“…Recent breakthroughs include the use of time-resolved TEM to monitor the formation of NaCl nuclei within carbon nanotubes, 24 and of micro-Raman spectroscopy to study the early aggregation of glycine in solution. [25][26][27][28] Unfortunately, understanding nucleation is an overwhelmingly complex problem, as both metastable structures and unstable intermediates, to which experimental probes are mostly blind, are involved in the process.…”
