We report on the measurement of morphology-dependent resonance within a laser-trapped micro-sphere excited under two-photon absorption. Both trapping and two-photon excitation are simultaneously achieved by a single femtosecond pulsed laser beam. The effect of the laser power as well as the pulse width on the transverse trapping force is first investigated. The dependence of two-photon-induced morphology-dependent resonance on the scanning velocity of a trapped particle is then experimentally determined.

Accurate surface tension measurements are key to understanding and predicting the behavior of atmospheric aerosols, particularly their formation, growth, and phase transitions. In Earth's atmosphere, aerosols often exist in metastable states, such as being supercooled or supersaturated. Standard tensiometry instruments face challenges in accessing these states due to the large sample volumes they require and rapid phase changes near surfaces.

Solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity will be crucial for future energy storage systems. Among many possible materials, thiophosphates offer both favourable mechanical properties and fast ionic transport. β-LiPS, as a member of the thiophosphate family, has gained recent attention, due to its remarkable increase in Li ionic conductivity when prepared solvent-assisted synthesis.

Usually, the incident beam is expanded to its vector spherical harmonic representation defined by beam shape coefficients, and the multilayer sphere scattering is obtained by the T-matrix method. However, obtaining the beam shape coefficients for arbitrarily shaped incident beams has limitations on source locations and requires different methods when the incident beam is defined inside or outside the computational domain or at the scatterer surface.

The morphology-dependent localized surface plasmon resonance of gold nanostructures has been widely utilized for designing sensors. One method relies on the color change of gold nanoparticles upon etching. In previous work, TMBoxidized from 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was found to etch gold nanorods (AuNRs), leading to a spectrum of different colors.

Whispering gallery mode resonators have proven to be robust and sensitive platforms for the trace detection of chemical and/or biological analytes. Conventional approaches using serially addressed resonators face challenges in simultaneous multi-channel (i.e.
