Abstract
Photonic force optical coherence elastography (PF-OCE) is a new approach for volumetric characterization of microscopic mechanical properties of soft materials. PF-OCE utilizes harmonically modulated optical radiation pressure to exert localized mechanical excitation on individual microbeads embedded in viscoelastic media. We present microrheological quantification of complex shear modulus in polyacrylamide gels with PF OCE. Spectroscopic measurements over a frequency range spanning 1 Hz to 7 kHz revealed rich frequency-dependent microstructural dynamics of entangled polymer networks across multiple microrheological regimes. PF-OCE provides an all-optical approach to quantitative three-dimensional mechanical microscopy and broadband spectroscopic microrheological studies of soft materials.
