description | This article presents the particle capture performance of annular slits, which offer a simple alternative to complex micro/nano structures used to excite and focus surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Additionally, the annular slits are compatible with a variety of vector light fields, generating diverse SPP field distributions under their excitation. These SPP fields can be regulated by varying the vector light field parameters, thereby offering the annular slit structure the ability to flexibly capture and manipulate particles. The rotation and movement of captured objects can be achieved by changing the position and phase difference of the incident beams with linear polarization. Different material and sized metallic particles can be stably captured with a radially polarized beam excitation due to the strong convergence. These capabilities are demonstrated by evaluating the optical force and trapping potential based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation. This study provides valuable insights into the practical application of annular slits for particle capture and manipulation. |
