Optical propulsion of microspheres along a channel waveguide produced by Cs<sup>+</sup> ion-exchange in glass

Experimental results on optical propulsion of polystyrene microspheres are presented. Particles of 3, 7 and 10 µm diameter were stably guided on top of a waveguide. The waveguides were made by Cs<sup>+</sup> ion-exchange in glass for singlemode operation at 1082 nm. The highest average v...
