Important things in this paper • Near-field optical micromanipulation with cavity enhanced evanescent waves • Near-field optical micromanipulation • cavity enhanced evanescent waves
Near-field optical micromanipulation • Optical guiding and/or trapping particle with evanescent waves
Near-field optical micromanipulation • In this paper…1064 nm CW laser (4 W, IPG Yb doped fiber laser) Velocity of 5 m polymer colloids at a BK7 glass-water interface… ~4 um/s1.8W focused to a 200um spot (without enhancement layer!)With enhancement layer… 22±2.7 um/s!! 1.8 W / (2 x 10-4m)2 = 4.5 x 107 W/m2 Theirs…0.005 W / (4 x 10-6m)2 = 3.1 x 108 W/m2 Inside MP3L tapered fiber
Conclusion for Near-field optical micromanipulation • To guide a particle… particle trapped within E.W. above surface • To trap a particle… two counter propagating waves • Larger the particle size… easier to trap smaller the Brownian motion (high drag) higher polarizability (stronger trapping force) • Should be able to perform on the tapered fiber…
Enhancement • “dielectric resonator”Looks like this… SF11 SiO21000nm ZrO2127nm H2O 1.754 1.45 1.97 1.33
Enhancement • Light is launched into the 127nm layer • 32 times of the incident intensity in the layer • 25 times at the surface • 5~10 times measured… v = 2~4 vs. 22
