Trapping force and optical lifting under focused evanescent wave illumination.
A physical model is presented to understand and calculate trapping force exerted on a dielectric micro-particle under focused evanescent wave illumination. This model is based on our recent vectorial diffraction model by a high numerical aperture objective operating under the total internal condition. As a result, trapping force in a focused evanescent spot generated by both plane wave (TEM00) ...
متن کاملEvanescent Wave Illumination
When an electromagnetic wave (light) in a dielectric medium of index n1 is incident upon an interface of a different dielectric material of a lower optical density, n2 at an angle θ1 greater than the critical angle, θc = sin−1(n2/n1), total internal reflection (TIR) occurs. Although all of the incident energy is reflected, an electromagnetic field with exponentially decreasing intensity propaga...
متن کاملOptical force on a cylindrical cloak under arbitrary wave illumination.
The optical force distribution in the cylindrical cloak under arbitrary incident waves is presented. We show that on the inner surface of the cloak both the induced surface currents and polarization charges interact with the waves and give opposite radiation pressure onto the inner surface. The Lorentz force in the cloak can contribute to change the trajectory of the rays, while in some cases i...
متن کاملOptical trapping of colloidal particles and cells by focused evanescent fields using conical lenses.
We demonstrate advantages in terms of trapping force distribution and laser efficiency that come from using a telescopic pair of conical lenses ('axicon') to generate a ring-like beam, that in conjunction with a high NA objective is used for direct optical trapping with a focused evanescent field near a surface. Various field geometries are considered and compared. First, a Gaussian beam and a ...
متن کاملOptical resolution below λ/4 using synthetic aperture microscopy and evanescent-wave illumination
Evanescent-wave illumination is applied to synthetic-aperture microscopy on a transparent solid substrate to extend the resolution limit to λ/2(n+1) (where n is the substrate refractive index) independent of the lens NA. Using a 633 nm source and a 0.4 NA lens, a resolution to 150 nm (λ/4.2) is demonstrated on a glass (n = 1.5) substrate. Further extension to ~ 74-nm resolution (λ/8.6) is proje...
