Figure 2
Components of the force experienced by a spherical particle versus the diffraction parameter in the inhomogeneous incident field described by (30)โ(37), , , with (aโc) circular polarization of (43) and (d) 45ยฐ linear polarization of (31) (). Data are normalized by (46), curve labels: (, ) Cartesian components of the total force (29), (, ) components of the force (24) (dashed lines), (, ) force component associated with the spin flow (44) for , (, ) -component of the force in case of 45ยฐ linear polarization with . The particle refraction index equals to (a) ; (b) ; (c) and (d) .
