After brainstorming with everyone in the lab, we have come up with the components necessary to make our optical tweezers work. There is no way I am going to be able to list everything we decided today in my notebook so I would have thought that this entry would be useless without my ability to make it comprehensive. However, Anthony has shown me the light when it comes to organization on the wiki and today starts my first open notebook session. Below is a list of things we would like to have for our optical tweezers.

  • Diode laser
  • Optical isolator
  • Beam shaping
  • Spatial filtering
  • Telescopes
  • Sample translation stage
  • Condenser & Detector stage
