• Linked and knotted beams of light (2008, background): “Though studied extensively, only recently has the relation between strongly focused laser beams and VSPHs received some attentio”
• Efficient Computation of Power, Force, and Torque in BEM Scattering Calculations (2013, methodology): “Radiation forces for nonspherical bodies have also been computed using quasi-analytical approaches (numerical methods based on analytical solutions for special geometries), including T-matrix methods [27] and discrete dipole approximations [28].”
• Angular momentum of a strongly focused Gaussian beam (2008, background): “This movement of field energy is accompanied by a momentum flux (Umov 1950, Nieminen et al 2007), which in this case is azimuthal about the beam axis, and therefore results in orbital angular momentum about the beam axis.”
• Shape-induced force fields in optical trapping (2014, methodology): “Although specialised software packages are available to compute the optical forces [13], their use is not routine.”
