This book deals with theoretical bases of the modern optics division concerned with
coherent light fields with singularities characterized by phase uncertainty. Singular light …

Based on the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory and Maxwell stress tensor formulism, we
calculate the transverse force constant matrix and perform a linear stability analysis on a …

The efficiency of trapping an on-axis spherical particle by use of laser tweezers for a particle
size from the Rayleigh limit to the ray optics limit is calculated from generalized Lorenz-Mie …

Nanophotonics deals with the diffraction of light from objects with nanoscale features. This
book addresses cutting-edge problems in the field of nanophotonics as well as a wide …

Diffractive Optics and Nanophotonics is devoted to achievements in diffractive optics,
focusing on the creation of new nanophotonic components and devices, as well as …

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the invention of optical trapping and
generation of ultrashort pulses, which revolutionized many areas of modern science and …

We investigate the optical trapping of a Rayleigh particle by a linearly or radially polarized
Gaussian beam. The Mie theory is applied to obtain a full solution, with the incident beam …

Optical pulling forces exerted on small particles can be achieved by tailoring the properties
of the electromagnetic field, the particles themselves, or the surrounding environment …

Radiation forces exerted upon a dielectric, circular-shaped cylinder of infinite length
illuminated by a non-paraxial cylindrical Gaussian beam are considered. Vectorial …

Forces exerted upon a dielectric cylinder of infinite length and arbitrary, or circular, cross-
section by the non-paraxial cylindrical Gaussian beam are considered. The projections of …
