Abstract :
Optical phase conjugation using photorefractive materials can be readily integrated with laser microscopy and interferometry for image processing, trapping, and manipulation of microscopic objects. This paper briefly reviews the basic principles associated with each individual component and describes some recent developments and potential biological applications of their integration
