Optothermal pulling, trapping, and assembly of colloids using nanowire plasmons

Abstract

Optothermal pulling of silica beads is observed under excitation of surface plasmon polaritons along a silver nanowire. Multiparticle assembly of colloids can also be formed, which can be controlled by tuning the polarization of the input beam.
