Optical Force


¡¡

Method A: Maxwell Stress Tensor on surface enclose the particle (Jackson, Classical Electrodyamics)

Method B: Maxwell Stress Tensor on particle surface (Okamoto and Kawata, PRL 83, 4534,1999)

¡¡

Example: 3D Dielectric particles illuminated by plane wave

1.1 Single particle

1.2 Two particles

 

1.3 Multi-particles

1.4 Particle near metallic bowtie
