Optical Forces, Waveguides and Micro Raman Spectroscopy
Løvhaugen, Pål (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2012-12-21)Optical waveguides are used to confine propagating light. In a dielectric waveguide, a small part of the propagating light travels along and just outside the waveguide surface. This evanescent field can interact with objects on the waveguide surface. Two effects of this light-matter interaction are presented, optical forces and Raman scattering. Optical forces are caused by changes in the momentum ...
