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/s
1.8W focused to a 200um spot (without enhancement layer!)
With enhancement layer… 22±2.7 um/s!!
1.8 W / (2 x 10-4m)2
0.005 W / (4 x 10-6m)2
= 4.5 x 107 W/m2
= 3.1 x 108 W/m2
Theirs…
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”

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
