Faster and more accurate geometrical-optics optical force calculation using neural networks

David Bronte Ciriza, Alessandro Magazzù, Agnese Callegari +5

Optical forces are often calculated by discretizing the trapping light beam into a set of rays and using geometrical optics to compute the exchange of momentum. However, the number…
