摘要
We study the transmitted intensity and induced photonic forces on interaction of light with a metallic disc containing a circular aperture. A procedure is used to calculate light transmission through the aperture, discussing the role of its morphological resonances. The resulting optical forces on metallic spheres placed in front of the aperture in the transmission side are analysed, observing that they yield a possible means of trapping, with particle size, position and composition discrimination, as a consequence of the force different signs and magnitudes as the wavelength varies.
