Computation of forces exerted on a microparticle by a laser beam
A mathematical description of the electromagnetic fields of non-paraxial laser beams is derived and used to calculate the trapping forces on spherical particles. The fields are exact solutions to the wave equation. A set of closed-form expressions for the scalar field of such a beam is presented fir...
