On the Cover

Contour plot, in frequency-distance space, of the calculated optical force on one particle in a two-particle system inside a waveguide. Reflection of light near a geometric resonance can exert a strong radiation force on a single particle; the presence of another particle nearby can then lead to complex oscillations in that force.
