Abstract

We theoretically discover that the spin angular momentum (SAM) enables to modulate the orbital torque through the inter-particle light-induced force (IP-LIF). Laguerre - Gaussian beam with the orbital angular momentum (OAM) can induce the orbital motion for the optically trapped objects. In addition, the SAM can also accelerate or decelerate the orbital motion due to the IP-LIF. Our discovery provides a new physical aspect, i.e. the IP-LIF plays an important role in the many-body dynamics of nanoparticles via the SAM-OAM coupling.
