Efficient Optical Trapping of Nano-Particle via Waveguide-Coupled Hybrid Plasmonic Nano-Taper

For manipulating nano-bio-specimens, we propose a tweezing device by integrating a triangular-shaped photonic-plasmonic nano-taper on top of a coupling waveguide. The device can exert strong trapping force on nano-particle owing to efficient optical energy usage and accessible field distribution. Wo...
