Article Synopsis
- * Our calculations show that for femtosecond laser pulses, the optical forces are quite similar to those from continuous wave (CW) beams, with differences in trap parameters generally under 1% for pulses longer than 100 fs.
- * However, for larger high-index particles, deviations can reach 3% for 100 fs pulses and 8% for 25 fs pulses; we propose a weighted average method for estimating CW forces from the pulsed beam's spectral components to clarify these differences.
