ABSTRACT Controlling the position and movement of small objects with light is an appealing way to manipulate delicate samples, such as living cells or nanoparticles. It is well-known that optical gradient and radiation pressure forces caused by a focused laser beam enables trapping and manipulation of objects with strength that is dependent on the particle’s optical properties. However, by utilizing transfer of photon spin angular momentum, it is also possible set objects into rotational motion simply by targeting them with a beam of circularly polarized light. Here we show that this effect can set ~200 nm radii gold particles trapped in water in 2D by a laser tweezers into rotation at frequencies that reach several kilohertz, much higher than any previously reported light driven rotation of a microscopic object. We derive a theory for the fluctuations in light scattering from a rotating particle and we argue that the high rotation frequencies observed experimentally is the combined result of favorable optical particle

KEYWORDS Optical tweezers, spin angular momentum, optical torque, photothermal effects, hydrodynamics TEXT Spin angular momentum (SAM) is an inherent property of circularly polarized light having a value of ± per photon, where is the reduced Planck’s constant and the sign indicates the polarization handedness 1. When an absorbing particle is illuminated by circularly polarized light, the SAM of the absorbed photons is transferred to the particle, resulting in a light induced torque. The optical torque is counteracted by resistive torques, in particular due to the drag force in the case of viscous media, causing the particle to spin with a constant frequency around some particular preferred axis of rotation. This phenomenon was first observed for microscopic CuO particles 2 and later demonstrated for plasmonic silver nanowires 3, both of which rotated by a few turns per second. Other optical rotation techniques rely on the shape asymmetry of the trapped object

4, 5, 6

, on birefringence 7, or on transfer of orbital angular momentum carried by a

laser beam with a particular phase structure 2 , 8, 9, 10, 11. Particles can even be made to spin using linearly polarized light, but this typically requires mechanical rotation of optical components. The highest optical rotation frequency reported to date, ~360 Hz, was obtained for a 1 µm thick birefringent calcite crystal trapped three-dimensionally in a 300 mW focused laser beam 7. Sub-wavelength sized particles have optical properties that can be dramatically different from what might be expected from their macroscopic counterparts. Noble metal nanoparticles are particularly interesting in this respect because they support surface plasmon resonances that have

. We chose to work with colloidal gold particles with an average radius R = 200 nm (citrate

stabilized colloidal gold nanoparticles from Sigma Aldrich) and a Ti:Saph trapping laser (Spectra-Physics 3900S) operated at a wavelength of 830 nm, which is within the window of low absorption of water. The gold particles have a round shape and their size is well matched to the diameter of a focused near-infrared laser beam. Together with the relatively high particle absorption cross-section, this ensures an efficient transfer of SAM. The gold nanoparticles were rotated in an optical tweezers setup constructed around an inverted microscope (Nikon TE300) equipped with white-light dark-field-illumination for the detection of the particles (Figure 1a). The particles were diluted with purified water (Milli-Q) to low enough concentration to avoid simultaneous trapping of several particles. Samples consisted of ~3 µl droplets of diluted colloid suspension placed between two glass cover slides separated by a 100 µm spacer. The relatively large metal particles considered here cannot be trapped in 3D using a single focused laser beam because the radiation pressure caused by absorption and reflection overcomes the optical gradient force in the light propagation direction. We therefore utilize a 2D trapping scheme in which particle movement along the optical axis is restricted by the upper cover glass in the sample cell (Figure 1b). Circularly polarized laser light is focused onto the sample by an air microscope objective (60X, NA = 0.7) and the light scattered from a trapped particle is collected with a fiber-coupled avalanche photo diode (APD) and analyzed with an autocorrelator (ALV–500).

The near-infrared trapping laser beam ( 830 nm) is expanded to fill the back aperture of the objective and circularly polarized using appropriate optical components. The sample is also illuminated with white light through a dark field (DF) condenser. The light scattered from the trapped particle is recorded by an avalanche photo diode (APD) and analyzed by an autocorrelator.

subject to circular (blue squares) and linearly polarized laser light (red triangles). The solid lines represent fits to the data using Equation (9) (blue) or a simple exponential decay (red).

Because the particles are irregular in shape (Figure 1c and Supporting Information Figure S1d), the amount of scattered light collected by the detection system depends on the particle orientation. Consequently, when the particle rotates at constant angular velocity, the light intensity oscillates periodically around some average value. In reality, however, there is also rotational Brownian motion, i.e. the angular velocity of the particle fluctuates. This means that the scattered intensity from the particle shows short-time oscillatory correlations, but eventually, for a sufficiently large lag time τ (temporal separation of two intensity data points), the correlations vanish. Experimental results for the intensity autocorrelation function for a particle trapped with circularly and linearly polarized light, respectively, are shown in Figure 1d. As is clearly seen, only circular polarization produces an oscillating autocorrelation function, corresponding to rotating motion, whereas linearly polarized light only produces an exponentially decaying correlation. It should be noted that although the particle’s translational Brownian motion has an effect on the autocorrelation function, the periodic oscillation that we observe here cannot originate from it. We have discussed this topic in the Supporting Information. The rotation frequency of the particle can be read off as the inverse of the time elapsed between two peaks in the autocorrelation function. The precise analytical expression for the intensity autocorrelation function can be derived from the Fokker-Planck equation

It is also likely that friction against the coverglass resist the rotational motion. Although difficult to quantify, such a friction term would in a first approximation be proportional to the radiation pressure and therefore reduce the rotation frequency by a constant factor. To calculate f from Equation (4), we have approximated the shape of the trapped particles by a sphere with radius R = 200 nm and the laser field is locally approximated by a plane wave. The particle absorption cross-section can then be obtained from Mie theory (Supporting information Figure S1), which yields &1 when there are no correlations left between the angular positions and velocities, something that is already satisfied for τ~10 µs here.

Equation (8) describes a

Gaussian distribution that at each instant is centered around Ωτ and that gradually spreads out as τ increases. The width of the distribution grows as √ , characteristic for a random walk, while a large friction β reduces the rate with which the distribution of angular positions broadens. Knowing the distribution function W we can calculate the correlation function in Equation (2), and arrive at

As can be seen from the fit of the experimental data in Figure 1d, Equation (9) gives an excellent description of the measured correlation function29. We measured the rotation frequency f and the correlation time for 14 different particles by fitting their autocorrelation functions to (the oscillating part of ) Equation (9) with N = 1 because of the low-symmetry particle shapes seen in the TEM image (Figures 1c and S1d). Figure 2 shows the results for two representative particles as a function of laser power. As shown, the

frequency of the signal increases for increased laser power P indicating faster rotation due to increased angular momentum transfer. Also the correlation time changes as a function of the power, as an increased power leads to a higher particle temperature. This is predicted by Equation (10) according to which an increase of the particle temperature and the consequent decrease of the water viscosity reduces the correlation time.

from 11.3 to 39.3 mW. The rotation frequency, f, and the correlation time, , were obtained by fitting the experimental data to Equation (9).

Figure 3 gives a power dependent scatter plot of f and for all measured particles together with the theoretical predictions obtained from Equations (4) and (5) for f and Equation (10) for . The observed rotation frequencies in Figure 3a are of the order 0.1–3 kHz for laser powers between about P = 10 mW and 50 mW (measured in the sample plane) while the highest oscillation frequency is f = 3.6 kHz, i.e. an order of magnitude higher than the previously reported maximum rotation frequency value7. Keeping the aforementioned uncertainty concerning the actual particle surface temperature and our neglect of cover glass friction in mind, the theory is in surprisingly good quantitative agreement with the experiments for both the correlation time and the rotation frequency power dependencies, albeit with a considerable spread in the experimental values. We assign this variation between different particles mainly to differences in particle shape and size (the size polydispersity is approximately 12%), which will affect the optical forces as such, as well as the friction. We expect that more irregular particles have higher friction and thereby increased correlation time and reduced rotation speed. Indeed, particle b in Figure 2 (the gray data points in Figure 3) displays both longer correlation times and smaller rotation frequencies than particle a (the orange data points in Figure 3), which is consistent with the larger friction.

In conclusion, we have demonstrated that transfer of spin angular momentum from circularly polarized light to absorbing gold nanoparticles can cause the particles to rotate at frequencies of several kHz, much faster than previously reported results of optical spinning. The experimental observations are altogether well described by classical electromagnetic and hydrodynamic

nanoscale viscosity 32, 33, 34 and/or temperature. It was concluded that the heating of the particles at high laser powers facilitates optical spinning because it lowers the viscosity and friction of the embedding water, but the exact extent of this effect is uncertain at present. Laser heating at the nanoscale is interesting in its own right and subject to considerable research efforts in biophysics and nanomedicine 35. One might here note that recent results on laser induced heating of gold nanoparticles indicate that water vapor can form close to the particle surface at illumination conditions similar to what has been used here28. Although we did not observe actual vapor bubble formation, very high rotation frequencies are indeed expected if particles can be made to rotate freely in a gas or vacuum environment 36.

In case that particle can rotate around two axes (and is symmetric around a third axis) we may assume that the scattered intensity varies with two angles θ and φ (defining the position of one point on the particle surface) as I(τ)=I0+I2 sinθ cosφ which yields a correlation time that is shorter by a factor of 2 compared with the result found above for the one-axis case. 30.
