Partially coherent sources which produce the same far zone optical force as a laser beam

On applying a theorem previously derived by Wolf and Collett, we demonstrate that partially coherent Gaussian Schell model uctuating sources (GSMS) produce exactly the same optical forces as a fully coherent laser beam. We also show that this kind of sources helps to control the light-matter interaction in biological samples which are very sensitive to thermal heating induced by higher power intensities; and hence the invasiveness of the manipulation. This is a consequence of the fact that the same photonic force can be obtained with a low intensity GSMS as with a high intensity laser beam.

Forces between a partially coherent fluctuating source and a magnetodielectric particle

We address the forces exerted by the electromagnetic field emitted by a planar uctuating source on dielectric particles that have arose much interest because of their recently shown magnetodielectric behavior. In this context, we analyze as a particular case the modification of the Casimir and Van der Waals forces. We study the effect of the source coherence length as well as the interplay between the force from the radiated field and that from the electric and magnetic dipoles induced on the particle. This allows a control of these interactions as well as of the weight and interference effects between the fields from both kinds of induced dipoles, in particular when large changes in their differential scattering cross section occur due to Kerker minimum forward or zero backward conditions; thus opening new paths to nanoparticle ensembling and manipulation. The influence of surface waves of the source is also studied.
