Generalization of the coupled dipole method to periodic structures
Patrick C. Chaumet, Adel Rahmani, Garnett W. Bryant
We present a generalization of the coupled dipole method to the scattering of light by arbitrary periodic structures. This new formulation of the coupled dipole method relies on th…

Optical Trapping and Manipulation of Nano-objects with an Apertureless Probe
Patrick C. Chaumet, Adel Rahmani, Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas
We propose a novel way to trap and manipulate nano-objects above a dielectric substrate using an apertureless near-field probe. A combination of evanescent illumination and light s…

Selective nanomanipulation using optical forces
Patrick C. Chaumet, Adel Rahmani, Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas
We present a detailed theoretical study of the recent proposal for selective nanomanipulation of nanometric particles above a substrate using near-field optical forces [Chaumet {\i…
