Design of nanoslotted photonic crystal waveguide cavities for single nanoparticle trapping and detection

We design and numerically simulate a photonic crystal waveguide cavity with a nanoslot structure for single nanoparticle trapping. A 135times enhancement of optical gradient trapping force compared to plain waveguide trapping devices has been achieved.
