    We introduce Dynamic Speckle Holography (DSH), a new technique that combines imaging and scattering to measure three dimensional maps of displacements as small as ten nanometers over several centimeters, greatly extending the capabilities of traditional imaging systems. We attain this sensitivity by imaging speckle patterns of light collected at three scattering angles and measuring the decay in the temporal correlation due to local motion. We use DSH to measure the strain field of a colloidal gel undergoing fracture and establish the surprising role of internal tension in driving the fracture.

    Abstract Opto-thermoelectric tweezers present a new paradigm for optical trapping and manipulation of particles using low-power and simple optics. New real-life applications of opto-thermoelectric tweezers in areas such as biophysics, microfluidics, and nanomanufacturing will require them to have large-scale and high-throughput manipulation capabilities in complex environments. Here, we present opto-thermoelectric speckle tweezers, which use speckle field consisting of many randomly distributed thermal hotspots that arise from an optical speckle pattern to trap multiple particles over large areas. By further integrating the speckle tweezers with a microfluidic system, we experimentally demonstrate their application for size-based nanoparticle filtration. With their low-power operation, simplicity, and versatility, opto-thermoelectric speckle tweezers will broaden the applications of optical manipulation techniques.

    Supergrowth occurs when the local amplitude growth rate of a wave is greater than that predicted by the band limit. While generating supergrowth on demand requires precise source modulation, we demonstrate that supergrowth occurs naturally in a sum of random plane waves. We measure the supergrowing fractional area of transverse, monochromatic, fully developed speckle patterns. For speckle with a disk spectrum, we find that the average fractional supergrowing area approaches 20%. We compare the supergrowing and superoscillating fractional areas and find great similarity in behavior. Our results inform on the ubiquity of superphenomena in speckle patterns and are relevant to imaging and estimation.
