We propose a rigorous theory for the optical trapping by vortices, which is emerging as an important tool to trap mesoscopic particles. The common perception that solely due gradient force, and may be characterized three real force constants. However, we show vortex can exhibit complex constants, implying must stabilized ambient damping. At different damping levels, particle shows remarkably dynamics, such stable trapping, periodic aperiodic orbital motions.

We demonstrate theoretically that Fano resonance can induce a negative optical scattering force acting on plasmonic nanoparticles in the visible light spectrum when an appropriate manipulating laser beam is adopted. Under illumination of zeroth-order Bessel beam, nanoparticle at its exhibits much stronger forward than backward and consequently leads to net longitudinal force, termed resonance-induced force. The extinction spectra obtained based Mie theory show arises from interference...

We show through rigorous calculations that small dielectric microspheres can be organized by an incident electromagnetic plane wave into stable geometric configurations, which we call photonic clusters. The long-ranged optical binding force arises from the multiple scattering between spheres. A cluster exhibit a multiplicity of distinct geometries, including quasicrystal-like with exotic dynamics.

We have also investigated how one can tailor interparticle interaction by overlaying different coatings. It is found Ag low dielectric coating increase number equilibrium positions, whereas antireflection reduces it.

Light carries angular momentum and as such it can exert torques on material objects. Applications of these opto-mechanical effects were limited initially due to their smallness in magnitude, but later becomes powerful versatile after the invention laser. Novel practical approaches for harvesting light particle rotation have since been demonstrated, where structure is always subjected a positive optical torque along certain axis if incident has projection same axis.

Optical tractor beams, proposed in 2011 and experimentally demonstrated soon after, offer the ability to pull particles against light propagation. It has attracted much research public interest. Yet, its limited microscopic-scale range severely restricts applicability. The dilemma is that a long-range Bessel beam, most accessible beam for optical traction, small half-cone angle, θ0, making pulling difficult. Here, by simultaneously using several novel compatible mechanisms, including...

We demonstrate a dramatically molded reflection of an electromagnetic (EM) wave from the magnetic metamaterial (MM) surface occurring near plasmon (MSP) resonance. It is found that on one side source reflected field nearly cancels incoming field, giving rise to shadowy region MM surface, while other considerably enhances resulting in brightened region. Our analysis indicates this effect arises coupling EM MSP band states which exhibit giant circulations going only direction due broken time...

Lateral optical forces in a direction perpendicular to light propagation have attracted increasing interest recent years. Up now, all lateral can be attributed the symmetry breaking directions caused by either morphology of scatterer geometry or fields impinging on scatterer. Here we demonstrate, both numerically and analytically, that when an isotropic breaks electric-magnetic symmetry, new type anomalous force induced along translational invariance where illumination striking has no...

We examine the mechanism governing photonic band gaps (PBGs) in two-dimensional magnetic crystals consisting of ferrite cylinders, based on simulation structure and transmission spectra. Besides conventional PBG resulting from Bragg scattering, two other types PBGs, owing, respectively, to Mie scattering resonance spin-wave resonance, are identified. Of particular interest is due that can be regarded as a analog surface plasmon metal. The ``magnetic plasmon'' induced resonant PBGs shown...
