Abstract

We present an experimental and numerical study of the wavelength dependence, near resonance, of the optical tweezer trap stiffness on three different dye-doped 1μm polystyrene spheres with peak absorptions at λ=625, 775, and 840 nm. Experimentally, an increase in the trap stiffness of 35% on the red side of resonance was observed for the dye-doped spheres relative to polystyrene spheres without dye. Numerical simulations for spheres of different sizes, between 20 nm and 1μm, and for absorption strengths corresponding to peak extinction coefficient values between 0.0027 and 0.081 were also conducted. Numerical results showed a maximum increase in the trap stiffness of 35%, which is consistent with experimental results.
