TL;DR: This work uses infrared optical tweezers to trap and manipulate red blood cells within subdermal capillaries in living mice and realizes a non-contact micro-operation that results in the clearing of a blocked microvessel.

TL;DR: These observations demonstrate that the DMD offers a simple and efficient method to generate Bessel beams with distinct nondiffracting and self-reconstruction behaviors, and will potentially expand the applications to the optical manipulation and high-resolution fluorescence imaging owing to the unique nondIFFracting property.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to directly transform a linearly polarized Gaussian beam into vector-vortex beams with various spatial patterns via a Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) binary holography for generating Laguerre Gaussian, Bessel Gaussian and helical Mathieu Gaussian modes, while a radial polarization converter (S-waveplate) is employed to effectively convert the optical vortices into cylindrically polarized vortex beams.

TL;DR: Optical trapping of core-shell magnetic microparticles is experimentally demonstrated by using cylindrical vector beams in this paper, where a trapped particle is manipulated to kill a cancer cell.

TL;DR: This work presents a more generalized asymmetric Bessel mode in which the parameter c is a complex constant, and provides an effective way to control the beam's asymmetry and orientation, which may find potential applications in light-sheet microscopy and optical manipulation.
