Resonance enhanced optical manipulation: the push and pull of light

摘要

The optical eigenmode technique offers a global optimisation method delivering the electromagnetic fieldprofile enhancing any linear light-matter interaction. Here, we use this approach to study the optimal beamsfor trapping, pushing and pulling (tractor beam) a mesoscopic micro-object at resonance with the incidentlight field.© (2012) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
