    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Optical Tweezers
    • Beam Propagation

    Background:

    • Optical forces are crucial for manipulating microparticles.
    • Schell-model beams offer tunable coherence properties.
    • Multi-Gaussian Schell-model (MGSM) beams provide a flexible framework for coherence control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To numerically investigate the radiation forces exerted by MGSM beams on a Rayleigh dielectric sphere.
    • To analyze the influence of MGSM beam parameters on optical trapping.
    • To determine how beam coherence and intensity profile affect trapping range and stability.

    Main Methods:

    • Numerical simulations of radiation forces.
    • Calculation of forces on a Rayleigh dielectric sphere.
    • Analysis of MGSM beam characteristics, including coherence width and intensity profile steepness (M).

    Main Results:

    • The steepness of the intensity profile (M) and initial coherence width significantly impact trapping range and stability.
    • Increasing M or decreasing coherence widens the trapping range at the focal plane.
    • Higher M values or lower coherence decrease trapping stability.

    Conclusions:

    • MGSM beams offer tunable optical trapping capabilities.
    • Parameter control of MGSM beams allows for optimization of trapping range and stability.
    • Findings are relevant for applications in optical manipulation and micromanipulation.
