Experimental Skill

• Experimental Observation of Branched Flow

  • Create isotropic and anisotropic gaussian-correlated random lattice both in 2D and 3D using optical induction based on a photorefractive SBN:61 crystal

  • Record the light intensity pattern using a charge-coupled device (CCD) at different facet of the crystal

• Measurement of plasmon wavelength on graphene surfaces

  • Use Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to measure the thickness of graphene

  • Use Scattering-type Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) to measure the wavelength of graphene surface plasmon resonance

• Measuring forces with the optical trap (optical tweezers)

  • DIY an optical tweezers and assemble the self-designed optical trap

  • Use 5mW Nd: YAG 532nm laser to trap beads and measure the maximum force it generates
