Optical forces acting on nano-sized particles are typically too small to be useful for particle
manipulation. We theoretically and numerically demonstrate a mechanism that can …

The stimulating connection between the reversal of near-field plasmonic binding force and
the role of symmetry-breaking has not been investigated comprehensively in the literature. In …

We put forward a theory on the optical force exerted upon a dipolar particle by a stationary
and ergodic partially coherent light field. We show through a rigorous analysis that the …

Preface to a focus issue of invited articles that review recent progress in studying the
fundamental physics of collective phenomena associated with coupling of confined …

The stimulating connection between the counter‐intuitive optical pulling effects and the
Lorentz force has not been investigated in literature. This work demonstrates that multiple …

We propose a tunable optical trapping system for nanoparticles based on generating
standing wave by coupling two coherent beams into a ring resonator in opposite directions …

Performance of whispering gallery mode resonators can be compromised by resonance
wavelength fluctuations. Here, we employ a silica microsphere coupled with a pair of head …

An optical manipulation system based on optofluidic microbubble resonators (MBR) is
proposed. As the high-Q whispering gallery modes (WGMs) are excited in an MBR, the …

Although it is commonly believed that all the volumetric optical force laws should lead to the
same total optical force for chiral and achiral objects, this idea has been invalidated in some …

In traditional cavity optomechanical models, a coupling between the cavity field and
mechanical degrees of freedom is a result of dependence of the frequency or the life-time of …
