Abstract
The potential of photonic force microscopy (PFM) to directly probe the field of the Bloch surface wave (BSW) in a one-dimensional photonic crystal is considered. Optical forces acting on a dielectric microparticle in the evanescent field of the BSW are estimated in the dipole approximation and calculated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) analysis. Technical details of the PFM measurements are described.
