Optical trapping of anti-reflection coating-coated spheres

Neng Wang, Xiao Li, Jun Chen +2

It was theoretically proposed and experimentally demonstrated that anti-reflection coating allows one to trap a high dielectric sphere, at the same time enhancing the transverse op…

Decomposition of optical force into conservative and nonconservative components

Yikun Jiang, Jun Chen, Jack Ng +1

We present a multipole expansion theory for optical force exerting on a particle immersed in generic monochromatic free-space optical field. Based on the theory, we have, for the f…

Universal relationships between optical force/torque and orbital versus spin momentum/angular momentum of light

Yikun Jiang, Huajin Chen, Jun Chen +2

We establish universal relationships between optical force/torque on a general particle and different parts of linear and angular momentum (AM) of generic monochromatic optical fie…

Negative Optical Torque

Jun Chen, Jack Ng, Kun Ding +3

Maxwell noted that light carries angular momentum, and as such it can exert torques on material objects. This was subsequently proved by Beth in 1936. Applications of these opto-me…

Backward Pulling Force from a Forward Propagating Beam

Jun Chen, Jack Ng, Zhifang Lin +1

A photon carries a momentum of, so one may anticipate light to "push" on any object standing in its path via the scattering force. In the absence of intensity gradient, using a lig…
