For a physicist, and more generally for a scientist, one of the pleasures in everyday life is to
detect exemplifying manifestations and avatars of the topic he is working on. Why do small …

Undoubtedly, laser tweezers are the most recognized application of optically induced
mechanical action. Their operation is usually described in terms of conservative forces …

Axial and transverse radiation force cross-sections of optical tractor Bessel polarized beams
are theoretically investigated for a dielectric sphere with particular emphasis on the beam …

Structured light refers to an optical field with modulated phase and amplitude, characterized
by distinct spatial patterns. It has applications in optical manipulation, 3D imaging, remote …

In the analysis of light scattering by small particles, the Generalized Lorenz-Mie Theory
(GLMT) describes the incident beam with a set of Beam Shape Coefficients (BSCs) that can …

Localized approximation procedures are efficient ways to evaluate beam shape coefficients
of laser beams, and are particularly useful when other methods are ineffective or inefficient …

Localized approximation procedures are efficient ways to evaluate beam shape coefficients

In a recent paper on radiation pressure forces exerted on a homogenous spherical particle
by zeroth-order Mathieu beams (zMBs), the integral localized approximation (ILA) was used …

The optical radiation force induced by Bessel (vortex) beams on a magneto-dielectric
subwavelength sphere is investigated with particular emphasis on the beam polarization …

This paper analyzes the validity of the integral localized approximation for discrete
superpositions of arbitrary order Bessel beams—known as frozen waves. It is motivated by …
