WUHAN, China (April 10, 2018) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 135 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the afternoon of April 10. Prof. Libo Yuan from Guilin University of Electronics Technology delivered an exciting talk entitled Specialty optical fiber for micro particle manipulation: optical tweezers, optical hands and optical gun. Prof. Jian Wang, from WNLO chaired the forum, and, awarded Prof. Libo Yuan the forum medal.
By using specialty designed optical fiber, a series powerful micro particle manipulation tools, such as optical tweezers, micro optical hand and optical gun are developed and demonstrated. In this talk, a review of our research activities on optical manipulation of micro particles will be presented. In particular we will describe a kinds of specialty optical fiber designed and fabricated for building the optical trapping and manipulating tools. As application examples, the performance of annular core fiber based optical tweezers, multi-core fiber based micro optical hand and coaxial dual waveguide fiber based optical gun are demonstrated and discussed in detail.
Prof. Libo Yuan is with the School of Electronic Engineering and Automation, Guilin University of Electronics Technology, as a professor and director of Center for Photonics Research. He has received his Ph.D. (Photonics, 2003), M. Eng. (Communication & Electronic Systems, 1990) and B.S. (Physics, 1984), from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Harbin Shipbuilding Engineering Institute and Heilongjiang University, respectively.
His general area of research is in-fiber integrated optics and fiber-optic sensors and its applications. He has led over 30 projects as principle investigator, include 973, 863 programs and a project of major program of national natural science foundation of China. He has authored and co-authored over 180 referred international journal papers and over 150 international conference papers mainly in the area of fiber optics and fiber optic sensors. He holds over 120 patents related with fiber optic technology and published 3 books and 3 book chapters.
