摘要

A semi-analytical model is proposed to describe the force generated by a near-field optical trap. The model contains fitting parameters that can be adjusted to resemble a reference force-field. The model parameters for a plasmonic near-field trap consisting of a C-shaped engraving are determined using least squares regression. The reference values required for the regression analysis are calculated using the Maxwell stress tensor method. The speed and accuracy of the proposed model are compared with the conventional method. The model is found to be significantly faster with an acceptable level of accuracy.
