Abstract
Tapered glass capillaries can be fabricated having cross-sections only few square-micrometers large. Efficient light focusing and guiding in thin, millimeter-long capillaries filled with a liquid solution provides competitive advantages for the optical sorting of nanoparticles. In this work, optical transport of fluorescent nanodiamonds is demonstrated both in water and DMSO. Size-dependent sorting of a large amount of nanodiamonds is also achieved using a backward liquid flow. An analytical model is used to calculate the femtonewton-scale forces acting on the particles and evaluate the sorting efficiency of tapered capillaries.
