Abstract
A numerical analysis is carried out of the influence of the de-phasing parameter of anoptical conveyor belt in the enantiomeric separation. The optical conveyor belt is obtained by theinterference of a Laguerre Gaussian and a Gaussian beam with different beam waists, which aretemporally de-phased. In order to obtain the maximum separation distance between enantiomers,we calculate the optimum range of values of the de-phasing parameter.
Highlights
One important task in biology is the separation of enantiomers, which can be achieved by using different techniques such as gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, or capillary electrophoresis [1]
We are going to analyze the effects of the temporal de-phasing parameter on the chiral resolution of the optical conveyor belt, showing that the maximum separation distance between enantiomers can be obtained by selecting the correct range of the de-phased parameter
We have demonstrated that the role of the de-phasing parameter in an optical conveyor is critical for chiral separation results
Summary
One important task in biology is the separation of enantiomers, which can be achieved by using different techniques such as gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, or capillary electrophoresis [1]. Different groups [2,3,4,5] have recently analyzed the use of optical fields to generate enantiomeric separation In this sense, a study has been made of lateral optical forces (LOF) generated by interfering plane waves [6] in order to obtain chirality sorting, and the LOF effect on paired chiral particles has been discussed [7]. A study has been made of lateral optical forces (LOF) generated by interfering plane waves [6] in order to obtain chirality sorting, and the LOF effect on paired chiral particles has been discussed [7] The dynamics of enantiomers are studied in their final trap region
