Inside a cavity:
Optical trapping: Resonant cavity trapping
• Size specific trapping
• Refractive index specific
trapping
• Shape specific trapping
• Lower trapping power
• Smaller particles
• Fixed trap position
Back action effects Strong field gradients
High Q, small V Particle induced

Effect of field on particle: Resonant Trapping - Experiment
Particle is optically trapped at a red detuned wavelength inside the
hollow photonic crystal cavity until the input laser is turned off.

• Ultra low power resonant optical trap in a 2D hollow
photonic crystal cavity with permanent trapping achieved at
120µW powers.
• Dynamic resonance shift resulting from the strong
perturbation of single particle inside the cavity demonstrated.
• Presence of particle-cavity coupling is revealed and this
back-action in the resonant trap leads to the existence of
two distinct trapping regimes
