Abstract

In this paper, we show that the boundary integral method is highly efficient for the calculation of optical forces on small dielectric and metallic objects. The boundary integral formulation for the Maxwell equations is stated, and an implementation of the equations is described, tested and used to derive new bistability results for two dielectric spheres in counterpropagating incoherent laser beams.
