Abstract

We present evidence that aerosol droplets, ~1-2μm in diameter, can be optically bound over a 4mm distance within a volume formed by the overlap of the central cores and rings of two counterpropagating Bessel beams. The sizes of the individual polydisperse aerosol particles can be estimated from the angular variation of the elastic light scattering. Scattered light from the two orthogonally polarized trapping beams and from a Gaussian probe beam of different wavelength can be used to provide independent estimations of size. The coalescence of two droplets was observed and characterized.

Fig. 1

Polydisperse droplets are shown in: (a) a long range optical binding configuration over a distance of 4mm; and (b) a short range binding configuration in the Bessel beam (BB) rings and central core. In panel (b) the field of view is 780μm, as shown by an arrow which provides a guide to the eye for the BB central core. Droplets displaced from this arrow due to gravity are trapped in the rings. These images have been greyscale inverted. The phase functions for three particles, identified in panel (b), are shown to the right. The inter-particle separation of droplets 1 → 2, and 2 → 3 are 136μm and 241μm, respectively.

A single droplet is sized using the 532nm trapping light with (a) the -z direction beam (p polarization), (b) + z direction beam (s polarization), (c) both beams (s + p polarization), and (d) a 633nm probe beam (s polarization). The experimental data shown by dashed black lines were fitted to Mie theory calculations shown by solid grey lines. The droplet radius found for each phase function is given. The droplet image D has been rotated for easy comparison with (d).

Fig. 3

Coalescence of two droplets is shown by sizing using the combined s + p polarization from the trapping beams. The phase functions (PF) for (a) optically guided droplet (droplet A) and (b) optically bound droplet (droplet B) are shown immediately before coalescence. The resultant droplet (droplet C) has a corresponding PF (c) observed after coalescence. The dotted black line for each case shows the experimentally obtained PF, and is compared to a Mie theory calculation shown by the solid grey line.
