Optical trapping of nematic and chiral nematic liquid crystalline droplets

A detailed research of optical trapping of nematic and chiral nematic liquid crystalline droplets is presented, in which the central study is the droplet behaviour in the optical traps and relevant mechanisms. The study consists of two main works: a generalized investigation of the rotational dynami...
