Mechanical Action of Inhomogeneously Polarized Optical Fields and Detection of the Internal Energy Flows

Figure 4

Coordinate dependence of the force acting on the spherical particle with diffraction parameter 𝜉=5 and refraction index 𝑚=1.5 in the incident field of (30)–(37), 𝛾=0.01 (conditions of Figures 2(c), 2(d)) with: (a) circular polarization of (43); (b) 45° linear polarization of (31) (𝐸_𝑦1=±𝐸_𝑥1); (c) 𝑥- and (d) 𝑦-polarizations of (40). Force values are normalized by (46).
