Abstract
We calculate the trapping forces exerted by a highly focused Bessel-Gaussian beam on a double-layered sphere by means of vector diffraction integral, T-matrix method and Maxwell stress tensor integral. The Bessel-Gaussian beam is azimuthally polarized. Numerical results predicate that the double-layered sphere with air core can be stably trapped in three-dimensions. The trapping forces and efficiencies are dependent on the refraction index and size of the inner core. The trapping efficiency can be optimized by choosing the refraction indices of the inner core and outer layer. Our computational method can be easily modified for other laser beams and particles with arbitrary geometries and multilayers.
