Mechanical Action of Inhomogeneously Polarized Optical Fields and Detection of the Internal Energy Flows
Figure 3
Particle-size dependence of the field-induced force components acting on a small dielectric particle with refraction index in a circularly polarized (±) and 45∘ linear polarized () incident field (conditions of Figures 2(c) and 2(d)) in the double logarithmic scale. Line labels are the same as in Figure 2, and the orders of growth are added; lines , , , and for both polarization cases are identical.
