Creating tunable lateral optical forces through multipolar interplay in single nanowires

Abstract The concept of lateral optical force (LOF) is of general interest in optical manipulation as it releases the constraint of intensity gradient in tightly focused light, yet such a force is normally limited to exotic materials and/or complex light fields. Here, we report a general and control...
