Title: Principles and applications of optical and acoustic trapping combined with Raman spectroscopy

Speaker: Dr Silvie Bernatova, CNR Italy

Abstract:
Optical and acoustic trapping is a method that uses optical or ultrasonic sound waves to trap and manipulate particles in air or a liquid. In this seminar, my aim is to introduce the basic principles of optical and acoustic trapping in combination with Raman spectroscopy. I will present a pair of portable setups that facilitate the trapping and manipulation of solid and liquid samples in water/air. The potential applications of both Raman tweezers will be demonstrated with examples that can be used in the detection of environmental pollutants.
