Pseudoscopic enlarged images are obtained by projecting diffraction-encoded images onto a diffractive screen
Optical trapping can be used to manipulate the three-dimensional (3-D) motion of spherical particles based on the simple prediction of optical forces and the responding motion of samples. However, controlling the 3-D behaviour of…
In this paper we implement experimentally the spatial shape modelling of nondiffracting optical beams via computer generated holograms. The results reported here are the experimental confirmation of the so called Frozen Wave method,…
Acoustic tweezers can manipulate microscopic objects and cells independently of the optical, magnetic and electrical properties of the objects or their medium. However, because ultrasonic waves are attenuated within few millimeters,…
Three dimensional images having continuous horizontal parallax were developed by wavelength enconding of view followed by a natural decoding process of projection onto a diffractive screen. It allows for the direct criation of "holoimages"…
