X Abstract

We investigate theoretically the optical pressure acting on a dielectric film in a surface-plasmon-coupled evanescent wave which is produced near the surface of a thin metal-coated prism illuminated by a p-polarized plane electromagnetic wave. We show that the pressure arising from the surface-plasmon-coupled evanescent waves in a metal-coated multilayer system is about ten times as large as that on the surface of a bare dielectric prism. The evanescent field pressure has a potential application in manipulating or sorting a planar-type particle near the surface of a thin metal.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
