Optical trapping Rayleigh particles by using focused multi-Gaussian Schell-model beams

Abstract

We numerically investigate the radiation forces of multi-Gaussian Schell-model (MGSM) beams, in which the degree of coherence is modeled by the multi-Gaussian function, exerted on the Rayleigh dielectric sphere. By simulation of the forces calculation it is found that the steepness of the edge of the intensity profile (i.e., the summation index M) and the initial coherence width of the MGSM beams play important roles in the trapping range and stability. We can increase the trapping range at the focal plane by increasing the value of M or decreasing the initial coherence of the MGSM beams. It is also found that the trapping stability becomes lower due to the increase of the value of M or the decrease of coherence. Furthermore, the trapping stability under different conditions is explicitly analyzed. The results presented here are helpful for some possible applications.

Specially shaped Bessel-like self-accelerating beams along predesigned trajectories

“…b, d, f The black dashed curves in the beam center lobe indicate the theoretical trajectory. The maps have the same color code to allow direct comparison [37] momentum to the arena of optical beam shaping and applications [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64].…”

Spoon-like Beams Generated with Exponential Phases

“…The use of highly focused Gaussian beams for optical trapping has been very successful [1,2]. However, a tightly focused Gaussian beam rapidly diverges away from a focus, and the use of the Gaussian beam in optical guiding and sorting is limited.…”

A proposal for wide range wavelength switching process using optical force

“…Since then, utilizing optical force effect extended in physical, biological, and material sciences, i.e. utilizing a different type of optical tweezers for trapping and manipulation of dielectric particles [10], metallic particles [11], biological objects such as cells, bacteria, viruses [12,13] and Nanometer precision sorting of nanoparticles [14,15]. For manipulating, separating, and imaging entities suspended in fluids, Opto-microfluidic makeup is beneficial [16][17][18][19].…”
