Abstract :
Engineered polaritonic metamaterials are shown to enhance nanoparticle optical trapping and sensing ability via cylindrical channel hybrid plasmon-polariton resonances. Geometric features supporting spatially and time-varying optical potentials that define polaritonic force landscapes are investigated.
