Wide cylindrical or spherical optical potentials from laser beam superpositions
Ole Steuernagel
Superpositions of paraxial Laguerre-Gauss laser beam modes to generate optical potentials based on the optical dipole force are investigated theoretically. Parabolic and other mono…

Coherent Transport and Concentration of Particles in Optical Traps using Varying Transverse Beam Profiles
Ole Steuernagel
Tailored time-dependent variations of the transverse profile together with longitudinal phase shifts of laser beams are studied. It is shown theoretically that a standing wave setu…

Equivalence between focussed paraxial beams and the quantum harmonic oscillator
Ole Steuernagel
The paraxial approximation to the scalar Helmholtz equation is shown to be equivalent to the Schrödinger equation for a quantum harmonic oscillator. This equivalence maps the Gouy-…
