Manipulating ellipsoidal micro-particles by femtosecond vortex tweezers

We study the manipulation of the ellipsoidal micro-particles by the femtosecond vortex tweezer experimentally and theoretically. In our setup the micro-particles can be rotated stably by means of optical torque induced by the femtosecond optical whirl. In order to give insight into observed effects, we establish two adequate theoretical models: one is based upon assumption of full absorption and the other uses the ray tracing method. The numerical simulations agree well with the experimental results.
