A single gradientless light beam drags particles as “tractor beam”
Usually a light beam pushes a particle when the photons act upon it. We investigate the optical forces by non-paraxial gradientless beams and find that the forces can drag suitable particles all the way towards the light source. The major criterion of realizing the backward dragging force is the strong non-paraxiality of the light beam, which contributes to the pulling force owing to the moment...

متن کاملNew method for nonparaxial beam propagation.
A new method for solving the wave equation is presented that is nonparaxial and can be applied to wide-angle beam propagation. It shows very good stability characteristics in the sense that relatively larger step sizes can be taken. An implementation by use of the collocation method is presented in which only simple matrix multiplications are involved and no numerical matrix diagonalization or ...
متن کاملMaterial-independent and size-independent tractor beams for dipole objects.
A Bessel beam without an axial gradient can exert a pulling force on an object [A. Novitsky, C. W. Qiu, and H. Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 203601 (2011)]. However, it cannot be called a "tractor beam" per se, as long as the light pulling effect is ultrasensitive to the object's material and size, a perturbation of which will make the optical traction go away. In this Letter, we investigate and ...
متن کاملFully vectorial highly nonparaxial beam close to the waist.
I use the angular spectrum representation to compute exactly the Gaussian beam close to the waist (w(0)) in the case of a highly nonparaxial field (w(0)<lambda). The computation is done in the vectorial case for a polarized Gaussian beam. In the area of the waist, the contribution of the propagating and evanescent waves is discussed. Moreover, the Gaussian wave is developed in terms of a series...
