Trapping of metallic Mie particles using a radially polarized laser beam

Date Do, 21.04.2011 - Do, 21.04.2011
Time 10.15
Speaker Jan Locher, Institute of Applied Physics, University of Bern
Location Universität Bern, Institut für Angewandte Physik, Gebäude exakte Wissenschaften, Hörsaal B116, Sidlerstrasse 5, 3012 Bern
Program In the talk, an optical tweezer will be presented which I have built for my master's thesis. After a short historical introduction, I will describe the physical basics behind optical trapping and point out the difference in trapping dielectric or metallic particles. A simple mathematical model, which helped to design the optical tweezer, will be presented. The second part will focus on the experimental set-up, with emphasis on the generation of a radially polarized laser beam. In the last part, the results are presented and discussed.
