Computational models for new fiber optic tweezers

R. S. Rodrigues Ribeiro, P. A. S. Jorge and A. Guerreiro

This paper discusses the calculation of the trapping forces in optical tweezers using a combination of the finite differences time domain (FDTD) method and the Lorentz force on electric dipoles. The results of 2D simulations of the trapping of a circular particle by a waveguide with a circular tip are presented and discussed.
