Optimizing optical trap stiffness for Rayleigh particles with a array of Airy beams

Rafael A. B. Suarez, Antonio A. R. Neves, Marcos R. R. Gesualdi

The Airy array beams are attractive for optical manipulation of particles owing to their non-diffraction and auto-focusing properties. An Airy array beams is composed of Airy b…
