Narrowband light absorber with multi-band plasmonic resonances is numerically investigated for high-performance electrical manipulation via introducing the electro-optic (EO) medium in slit array based grating structure. A maximal absorption efficiency of 99.5% achieved. The spectral shift sensitivity reaches 0.99 nm/V. Besides, large intensity change also obtained due to use sharp resonances, ...

BACKGROUND We performed a blood glucose meter hematocrit (HCT) interference test with lower sample manipulation requirements by using blood samples from patients with different blood glucose (BG) levels. METHODS Blood from five patients with different BG levels (2.8, 5.6, 8.3, 13.9, 19.4 mmol/liter) was manipulated to contain five different HCT concentrations (35/40/45/50/55%). Each sample w...

The ability to manipulate biological cells and micrometer-scale particles plays an important role in many biological and colloidal science applications. However, conventional manipulation techniques, such as optical tweezers, electrokinetic forces (electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis (DEP), and traveling-wave dielectrophoresis), magnetic tweezers, acoustic traps, and hydrodynamic flows, cannot a...

Optical manipulation and imaging of nano-objects with nanometer precision is highly desirable for nanomaterial biological studies due to inherent noninvasiveness. However, time constraints current segregated experimental systems nanoimaging nanomanipulation limits real-time super-resolution spatially enhanced manipulation. Here, an integrated nanoscopic correction (iNC) method enable multimodal...
