Optical trapping with Super-Gaussian beams

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We outline the possibility of optical trapping and tweezing with Super-Gaussian beam profiles. We show that the trapping strength can be tuned continuously by adjusting the order of a Super-Gaussian beam, approaching that of a perfect Gaussian and perfect flat-top beam at the two extremes.
