Abstract

The Angular Spectrum Representation (ASR) is applied to describe semi-analytically the optical force densities acting on linear dielectric media when a quasi-monochromatic tightly focused Gaussian beam is applied. This method is seen to be inherently faster than conventional finite-difference schemes. Numerical simulations of the optical force densities were also performed and found to be in agreement with the literature, providing a complementary tool for the study of opto-mechanical effects in matter.
