Statistical Description of Electromagnetic Wavefronts for Extreme Near-field Micromanipulations

Faculty Sponsor: Tsampikos Kottos Live Poster Session: Zoom Link Abstract: We design a wavefront shaping protocol which maximizes the electromagnetic forces acting at a specific location in an arbitrary complex scattering medium. Our approach utilizes appropriate physical operators, that rely on the measured scattering matrix, whose eigenvectors can be used for the design of wavefronts … Read more
