This study simulated the motion of particles with low thermal conductivity, such as carbon nanoclasts aerosols, when irradiated by optical tubes like Laguerre-Gaussian and Bessel-Gaussian beams. The analysis showed that optical forces, including radiation and photophoretic forces, can guide particles into specific beam areas based on their size and beam properties, with some particles potentially being completely trapped.
In this study, particle motion with low thermal conductivity, such as carbon nanoclasts aerosols, is simulated when irradiated by an optical tube such as Laguerre- Gaussian and Bessel-Gaussian beams. Opticall forces due to light radiation to the particle include the radiation and photophoretic forces that result from the transmission of the photon's momentum to the particle and its surroundings. Here, these forces are generally calculated for radiation an m-charge Laguerre-Gaussian beam, LG(0m), on a spherical micro particle. Longitudinal and transverse component of radiation and photophoretic forces for radiation of LG(0m) with m = 0, 1 and 2 are derived. LG(0m) beams have a ring-shaped intensity profile when m > 0. The particles can be guided into these pipeline beams on the optical axis based on the particle's size and the beam properties. The optical guidance can be in the direction of the beam or opposite. Some particles are also trapped completely.
