Tailored long range forces on polarizable particles by collective scattering of broadband radiation
Tailored long range forces on polarizable particles by collective scattering of broadband radiation
Collective coherent light scattering by polarizable particles creates surprisingly strong, long range inter-particle forces originating from interference of the light scattered by different particles. While for monochromatic laser beams this interaction decays with the inverse distance, we show here that in general the effective interaction range and geometry can be …
