Manipulating Gradient Forces on Optical Tweezers using Bessel Beams

In this paper, we show how one can change the stable equilibrium of a particle trapped into an optical tweezer by varying the intensity of superposed Bessel beams with different orders. The gradient forces acting on particles of different radii are determined, and the theoretical results indicates that it is possible to combine Bessel beams in such a way as to manipulate the particle into or out the centre of the beam by exploiting their ring-shaped intensity patterns, without any mechanical displacement of the lasers.
