Nanoscale Optical Trapping by Means of Dielectric Bowtie

Plasmonic and dielectric tweezers represent a common paradigm for an innovative and efficient optical trapping at the micro/nanoscale. Plasmonic configurations provide subwavelength mode confinement, resulting in very high optical forces, at the expense of a higher thermal effect, that could undermi...
