Laboratory Description

At the Applied Optics Laboratory, we conduct studies on the interaction of light with matter at different scales and interdisciplinary studies on the characterization of bio and nanomaterials.
We have projects with continuous-wave structured and pulsed laser beams. With the CW lasers, we study the fundamental properties of non-Gaussian beams such as Airy, Bessel, Laguerre, etc. Some of these beams are used to generate optical potentials with different properties and to manipulate microscopic objects (optical tweezers).
Pulsed laser beams are used to produce microexplosions and generate impulsive forces that can be used to distort cells and nanomaterials. Within this field, we also conduct fundamental studies on the interaction between plasmas, shockwaves, cavitation bubbles, and acoustic fields.
We also develop projects on the characterization of bio and nanomaterials through light.
