  • 非均匀手征分层粒子的俘获特性研究在化学工程、生物医药、光镊、微纳米加工等领域都有着重要的应用. 为了有效地俘获及操控手征分层球形粒子, 本文对椭圆高斯波束照射下手征分层球形粒子的辐射俘获力展开研究. 从广义米理论出发, 将入射椭圆高斯波束用矢量球谐函数展开, 根据波束散射理论及电磁场动量守恒定理, 得出椭圆高斯波束对手征分层球形粒子辐射俘获力的级数表达式, 并对椭圆高斯波束入射分层手征细胞时的轴向及横向俘获力进行了数值模拟, 讨论了手征参数、极化状态、束腰宽度、损耗以及最外层厚度对俘获情况的影响. 研究表明: 手征参数的引入会降低非均匀手征粒子的轴向俘获特性, 但是选择合适的极化态入射时, 可以有效地实现对非均匀手征粒子的稳定俘获. 对于内层损耗小的手征多层球形粒子, 当内层折射率大于最外层时, 最外层厚度大的非均匀手征粒子在光轴上更容易俘获; 反之内层折射率小于最外层时, 最外层厚度小的粒子在光轴上有更强的束缚; 同时与传统圆高斯波束相比, 椭圆高斯波束的强会聚性更容易实现对非均匀手征分层细胞的三维俘获, 具有良好的应用前景.

     

    Theoretical study on optical trapping of multi-layered chiral sphere has attracted more and more attention for its important applications in many frontier scientific fields such as chemical engineering, biomedicine, optical tweezers, micro/nano lithography etc. In order to trap and manipulate chiral multi-layered particles efficiently, the present paper aims at developing the theoretical research of trapping force (TF) exerted on a multi-layered chiral sphere induced by laser sheet which might have great potential to improve the light performance in optical trapping as well as capture, suspension, and high-precision delivery of chiral cells. Here, based on the Generalized Lorenz Mie theory and the completeness of spherical vector wave functions (SVWFs), the electromagnetic field of incident laser sheet are expanded in terms of SVWFs. Accordingly, by introducing the beam scattering theory and the conservation law of electromagnetic momentum (EM), the analysis of TF exerted on multi-layered chiral sphere can be analytically expressed in terms of the incident and scattering coefficients. Taking the chiral cell as an example, the TF induced by laser sheet is simulated numerically. Numerical effects of the varying chirality, polarization states, beam waist width, inner material loss and outmost size on the TF induced by laser sheet are analyzed and compared with those by circular Gaussian beam incidence in detail. It is found that the introduction of chirality parameter may reduce the axial TF exerted on chiral multi-layered cell. Thus, it is more difficult to trap and manipulate stratified chiral cells than to trap general isotropic cells. Also it is shown that the TF of chiral cells can be significantly discriminatory in nature, depending upon both the handedness of the interacting particles and the polarization of the incident light. Thus, an appropriately polarized beam should be considered in trapping chiral cells. For chiral multi-layered cells with small loss in the inner layer, when the inner refractive indices are less than the outmost refractive index, the TF of multi-layered chiral cell becomes stronger with the outmost radius decreasing. Conversely, for the inner refractive indices are greater than the outer refractive index, TF becomes weaker as the outmost radius decreases. Besides, compared with the traditional circular Gaussian beam, the strong convergence of elliptical Gaussian beam can be easier to achieve three-dimensional capture of stratified chiral cells, which may provide a recipe to understand the light interaction with more complex chiral cells with the aid of the analytical approach and could be a promising avenue for the design of optical trapping systems.
