Advanced experimental and theoretical studies of surface states in photonic bandgap nanostructures: optical and nonlinear-optical spectroscopy with femtosecond time resolution, photonic-force microscopy with resolution down to units of femtonewtons!
Optical tweezers allow the manipulation and measuring the interaction forces of microscopic objects from single living cells to magnetic micro-particles in magnetic fluids. Forces measurements give new insights in mechanics of single living cells and can characterize the interaction between micron-sized objects.
