Article Synopsis
  • * SLRs offer advantages like narrower bandwidths and enhanced electric fields compared to LSPs, which are essential for creating efficient optical devices, with grazing diffracted orders playing a key role in their properties.
  • * The study utilizes both experimental and theoretical methods, including simulations of gold disk arrays, to show that SLR characteristics are closely linked to the efficiency of diffracted modes, emphasizing the importance of inter-particle spacing for optimizing performance in photonic applications.

Advances in optical trapping design principles have led to tremendous progress in manipulating nanoparticles (NPs) with diverse functionalities in different environments using bulky systems. However, efficient control and manipulation of NPs in harsh environments require a careful design of contactless optical tweezers. Here, we propose a simple design of a fibered optical probe allowing the trapping of dielectric NP as well as a transfer of the angular momentum of light to the NP inducing its mechanical rotation.
