Deciphering single- and multi-particle trapping dynamics under femtosecond pulsed excitation with simultaneous spatial and temporal resolution

Anita Devi et al.

Summary: Recent studies have revealed how laser trapping dynamics under femtosecond pulsed excitation are finely tuned by optical and thermal nonlinearities. This study presents experimental results of trapping single and multiple polystyrene beads (1 µm diameter) and demonstrates the spatial and temporal resolution provided by integrating bright-field video microscopy with confocal detection of backscatter. The spatiotemporal detection has promising applications in exploring controlled laser trapping and manipulations driven by optical and thermal nonlinearities.

Unified treatment of nonlinear optical force in laser trapping of dielectric particles of varying sizes

Anita Devi et al.

Summary: This study investigates laser trapping under femtosecond pulsed excitation, comparing various theories and proposing a unified description. The exact Mie theory is found to provide precise predictions of trapping force when including the optical Kerr effect, and Mie interference phenomena leading to Fano resonance are naturally captured within EMT. This research contributes to the accurate numerical estimation of nonlinear optical force on spherical dielectric particles of arbitrary sizes.
