Abstract

In this paper the use of a patterned surface to create an optical conveyor for spherical, and near spherical particles is explored. Using a surface constructed of a repeating micron-sized motif, we simulate the effects of moving a particles in the near micron regime above the surface. To reduce optical calculation overheads, a fluid index matched to the substrate of the meta-surface is used, as this allows use to ignore scattering effects due to the presence of a substrate. We also explore optical force changes in the axis perpendicular to the surface that occur due to changes in size of the particles, and the choice of incident wavelength.
