Tunable Optical Torque by Asymmetry-Induced Spin-Hall Effect in Tightly Focused Spinless Gaussian Beams
Sauvik Roy, Ram Nandan Kumar, Biswajit Das +3
A linearly polarized Gaussian beam, carrying zero net spin angular momentum, is conventionally not expected to exert optical torque or induce rotational motion in birefringent micr…

Micromotors Driven by Spin-Orbit Interaction of Light: Mimicking Planetary Motion at the Microscale
Ram Nandan Kumar, Jeeban Kumar Nayak, Subhasish Dutta Gupta +2
We introduce a new class of optical micromotors driven by the spin-orbit interaction of light and spin-driven fluid flows leading to simultaneous rotation and revolution of the mic…
