    • Theoretical analysis of optical forces induced by Bloch modes.
    • Modeling of light field distribution in SWG waveguides.

    Main Results:

    • SWG waveguides exhibit periodic light field distributions, enabling stable, periodic nanoparticle trapping.
    • The separation of trapped nanoparticles can be precisely controlled by adjusting the grating period.
    • SWG waveguides provide a larger lateral working distance for trapping nanoparticles compared to conventional waveguides.

    Conclusions:

    • Silicon SWG waveguides present a novel and advantageous platform for periodic nanoparticle manipulation.
    • The design flexibility and enhanced trapping capabilities of SWG waveguides open new avenues in nanophotonics and optical trapping applications.
