From: Higher order microfibre modes for dielectric particle trapping and propulsion
Measured speed of a 3 μm polystyrene particle under the evanescent field of the FM (blue circles) and HOM (red stars) as a function of waist power, Pwaist.
The speed is significantly higher for HOM propagation. The filled circles and unfilled stars represent the experimental data and the lines are the theoretical plots.
