Optical forces calculated using the ray-tracing method when the center of the scatterer is located at a distance Δ (as labeled in Figure 1a) from the liquid–gas interface. The incident light is a p-polarized plane wave, and the object is circular with a radius of rx=ry=2 µm. All other parameters are the same as those in Figure 2.
