"Shaping light for imaging and manipulation" Kishan Dholakia

Speaker:
Professor Kishan Dholakia, Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of St Andrews, Scotland, U.K.

Seminar Title:
Shaping light for imaging and manipulation

Abstract:
This talk will cover recent work on the use of propagation invariant optical fields and correction through complex media for applications in optical manipulation of particles, light sheet and Raman imaging and imaging at depth using multimode fibres.
