THE USE OF THE RAYLEIGH NANOPARTICLES TO DIAGNOSE OPTICAL CURRENTS AND OPTICAL FIELDS

摘要

Theoretical and experimental approaches to diagnosing of internal spin and orbital optical flows and corresponding optical forces caused by these flows are offered. These approaches are based on the investigation of the motion of tested particles in the formed optical field. The possibility of using kinematic values defining the motion dynamics of particles of the Rayleigh light scattering mechanism for making a quantitative assessment of the degree of coherence of mutually orthogonal linearly polarized in the incidence plane waves is demonstrated.
