Abstract
Photonic crystal cavities with bowtie defects that combine ultrahigh Q and ultralow mode volume are theoretically studied for low-power nanoscale optical trapping. By harnessing the localized heating of the water layer near the bowtie region, combined with an applied alternating current electric field, this system provides long-range electrohydrodynamic transport of particles with average radial velocities of 30 μm/s towards the bowtie region on demand by switching the input wavelength. Once transported to a given bowtie region, synergistic interaction of optical gradient and attractive negative thermophoretic forces stably trap a 10nm quantum dot in a potential well with a depth of 10 k_{B}T using a mW input power.
