Optical trapping force on two types of particles with a focused partially coherent Lommel-Gaussian beam

In order to explore the capture of two types of particles with different refractive-indexes with focused partially coherent Lommel-Gaussian beam (PCLGB), we numerically derived the expressions of the intensity, and its distribution is also simulated. We found that the focused PCLGB is able to capture two high refractive-index particles at different positions on the focal plane and a low refractive-index particle at the focus, respectively. when the orbital angular momentum (OAM)quantum number, lens focal length, asymmetry parameter decreased, and the spatial correlation length and beam waist increased, the transverse gradient force of the focused PCLGB increased; when the OAM quantum number, lens focal length, asymmetry parameter, spatial correlation length decreased and the beam waist increased, the axial gradient force and scattering force of the focused PCLGB increased. We can choose the optimum optical and lens parameters, a large range and stable trapping can be achieved. The obtained results have certain reference value for the focused PCLGB applied in micromanipulation technology and biotechnology.

Automated summary

In this study, we numerically investigated the capture of particles with different refractive-indexes using focused partially coherent Lommel-Gaussian beam (PCLGB). By adjusting the optical and lens parameters, stable and wide-range trapping can be achieved. The results obtained have potential applications in micromanipulation technology and biotechnology.
