Germanium microparticles as optically induced oscillators in optical tweezers

Oscillatory dynamics is a key tool in optical tweezer applications. It is usually implemented by mechanical interventions that cannot be optically controlled. In this paper, we show that germanium semiconductor beads behave as optically induced oscillators when subjected to a highly focused laser be...
