Circular Dichroism without absorption in isolated chiral dielectric Mie particles
Rafael S. Dutra, Felipe A. Pinheiro, Diney S. Ether +3
We demonstrate that an effect phenomenologically analogous to circular dichroism can arise even for dielectric and isotropic chiral spherical particles. By analyzing the polarimetr…
Probing the chirality of a single microsphere trapped by a focused vortex beam through their orbital period
Kainã Diniz, Tanja Schoger, Arthur L. Fonseca +6
When microspheres are illuminated by tightly focused vortex beams, they can be trapped in a non-equilibrium steady state where they orbit around the optical axis. By using the Mie-…
Precise in situ radius measurement of individual optically trapped microspheres using negative optical torque exerted by focused vortex beams
Kainã Diniz, Tanja Schoger, Guilherme T. Moura +6
We demonstrate a new method for determining the radius of micron-sized particles trapped by a vortex laser beam. The technique is based on measuring the rotation experienced by the…
Tailoring bistability in optical tweezers with vortex beams and spherical aberration
Arthur Luna da Fonseca, Kainã Diniz, Paula Borges Monteiro +7
We demonstrate a bistable optical trap by tightly focusing a vortex laser beam. The optical potential has the form of a Mexican hat with an additional minimum at the center. The bi…
Gain-assisted optical tweezing of plasmonic and large refractive index microspheres
R. Ali, R. S. Dutra, F. A. Pinheiro +1
We have theoretically investigated optical tweezing of gain-functionalized microspheres using a highly focused single beam in the nonparaxial regime. We employ the Mie-Debye theory…
