Abstract
Forces exerted upon a dielectric cylinder of infinite length and arbitrary, or circular, cross-section by the non-paraxial cylindrical Gaussian beam are considered. The projections of the vector of the light force pressure exerted upon a dielectric cylinder of arbitrary and circular cross-section are expressed analytically. In particular, the pressure force is expressed through the coefficients of decomposition of the non-paraxial Gaussian beam into the cylindrical functions. Using numerical examples, a possibility to optically trap a circular-shaped cylinder in two oppositely directed Gaussian beams or a single non-paraxial Gaussian beam is demonstrated.
