Abstract

We present a theoretical study of plasmonic-based optical trapping of neutral sub-wavelength particles in proximity to illuminated metallic nanostructures. We compute the dipolar force on the particles using 3D full-wave electromagnetic analysis, and we perform parametric studies of the force as a function of nanostructure geometry, particle size, and field polarization. We discuss advantages and applications of plasmonic nanotrapping.
