Attractive and repulsive optical forces between coupled photonic waveguides are demonstrated – previously, only attractive forces had been observed. The sign of the force can be controlled by varying the relative phase between the guided modes. This effect could be used in planar light-force devices on a CMOS-compatible platform.
