The induction of the optofluidic force allows the characterization of the nanoparticles in real time

The induction of the optofluidic force allows the characterization of the nanoparticles in real time

Schemes of the optofluidic force induction scheme (OF2i). (a) The particles are immersed in a fluid and are pumped through a microfluidic channel. A weakly focused Laguerre-Gaussian laser beam with an OAM propagates in the same direction as the flow of the particles and exerts optical forces on the nanoparticles. By monitoring the scattered light …
