Halo: A Guiding Light for Transport
Motor-powered transport along microtubule tracks plays a critical role in cell division and the generation of cell polarity [1]. It is now clear that individual cargoes, including kinetochores, melanosomes, neuronal vesicles and lipid droplets, associate with both plus enddirected and minus end-directed motor proteins and exhibit back and forth motion [1]. Poorly understood mechanisms ensure th...
متن کاملSteering and guiding light with light in a nanosuspension.
We experimentally demonstrate guiding of a low-power probe beam (633 nm wavelength) by means of a light-induced waveguide generated by the self-focusing of a strong pump beam (532 nm wavelength) in an artificial nonlinear medium, constituted by a colloidal suspension of dielectric nanoparticles. We also demonstrate optical steering of the probe beam by controlling the direction of propagation o...
متن کاملGuiding neuronal growth with light.
Control over neuronal growth is a fundamental objective in neuroscience, cell biology, developmental biology, biophysics, and biomedicine and is particularly important for the formation of neural circuits in vitro, as well as nerve regeneration in vivo [Zeck, G. & Fromherz, P. (2001) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98, 10457-10462]. We have shown experimentally that we can use weak optical forces to...
متن کاملGuiding light with conformal transformations.
The past decade has seen a revolution in electromagnetics due to the development of metamaterials. These artificial composites have been fashioned to exhibit exotic effects such as a negative index of refraction. However, the full potential of metamaterial devices has only been hinted at. By combining metamaterials with transformation optics (TO), researchers have demonstrated an invisibility c...
متن کاملLight guiding light: Nonlinear refraction in rubidium vapor
Recently there has been experimental and theoretical interest in cross-dispersion effects in rubidium vapor, which allows one beam of light to be guided by another. We present theoretical results which account for the complications created by the D line hyperfine structure of rubidium as well as the presence of the two major isotopes of rubidium. This allows the complex frequency dependence of ...
