Rapid multicomponent optical protein patterning.
Cells sense spatial distributions of molecules which trigger signal transduction pathways that induce the cell to migrate or extend by remodelling the cytoskeleton. However, the influence of local and small variations of extracellular protein concentration on chemotaxis is not fully understood, due in part to the lack of simple and precise methods to pattern proteins in vitro. We recently devel...
متن کاملAll-optical patterning of azo polymer films
Thin films of polymers containing non-linear optical chromophores based on azobenzene have been shown to respond mechanically to low power light interference, resulting in a transfer of an arbitrary optical pattern to surface relief in a single step, often well below the usual glass transition temperature. The timescale for this process is seconds to minutes, and the resulting surface relief pa...
متن کاملOptical Trap Assisted Nanoscale Laser Direct-Write Patterning
Laser direct-write patterning methods are traditionally limited by the diffraction limit to size scales several hundreds of nanometers at the minimum. In this work, we demonstrate a new method of laser based patterning that overcomes these limitations by taking advantage of near-field enhancement at the surface of dielectric microspheres. Polystyrene microspheres are trapped in CW Bessel beam l...
متن کاملTargeted Patterning of Nucleic Acid Probes on Optical Nanostructures
Optically resonant devices are promising as biomolecular sensors due to their ability to concentrate electromagnetic energy into small mode volume, high quality factor nanocavities. We present a parylene patterning technique that enables us to localize the biomolecular interactions of interest to the areas of highest optical intensity in such devices, leading to a device with optimal sensitivit...
متن کاملElectrokinetic patterning of colloidal particles with optical landscapes.
We demonstrate an opto-electrokinetic technique for non-invasive particle manipulation on the surface of a parallel-plate indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode that is biased with an alternating current (AC) signal and illuminated with near-infrared (1064 nm) optical landscapes. This technique can generate strong microfluidic vortices at higher AC frequencies (>100 kHz) and dynamically and rapidly a...
