Casimir effect with dielectric matter in salted water and implications at the cell scale
Larissa Inácio, Felipe S. S. Rosa, Astrid Lambrecht +2
The Casimir interaction in salted water contains a universal contribution of electromagnetic fluctuations that makes it of a longer range than previously thought. The universal con…
Gain-assisted optical tweezing of plasmonic and large refractive index microspheres
R. Ali, R. S. Dutra, F. A. Pinheiro +1
We have theoretically investigated optical tweezing of gain-functionalized microspheres using a highly focused single beam in the nonparaxial regime. We employ the Mie-Debye theory…
Measurement of the Casimir Force between 0.2 and 8 mum: Experimental Procedures and Comparison with Theory
Giuseppe Bimonte, Benjamin Spreng, Paulo A. Maia Neto +4
We present results on the determination of the differential Casimir force between an Au-coated sapphire sphere and the top and bottom of Au-coated deep silicon trenches performed b…
Probing the screening of the Casimir interaction with optical tweezers
L. B. Pires, D. S. Ether, B. Spreng +13
We measure the colloidal interaction between two silica microspheres in aqueous solution in the distance range from m to m with the help of optical tweezers. When e…
Enantioselection and chiral sorting of single microspheres using optical pulling forces
R. Ali, R. S. Dutra, F. A. Pinheiro +1
We put forward a novel, twofold scheme that enables at the same time all-optical enantioselection and sorting of single multipolar chiral microspheres based on optical pulling forc…
Theory of optical tweezing of dielectric microspheres in chiral host media and its applications
Rfaqat Ali, R. S. Dutra, F. A. Pinheiro +2
We report for the first time the theory of optical tweezers of spherical dielectric particles embedded in a chiral medium. We develop a partial-wave (Mie) expansion to calculate th…
