Related topics laser control of microparticles and free electrons 

The concept of the laser control of atomic motion, discussed in Chapters 5 and 6, was developed simultaneously and successfully for neutral microparticles, specifically with a view to creating optical tweezers. There are prospects for using the nonresonance gradient force produced by strong femtosecond laser pulses to control to some extent the motion of electrons and thus develop laser-induced electron optics in the future. It therefore seems quite natural to discuss, in conclusion, these problems related to the main subject matter of this book.
