Figure 20.1 — Interplay of random and deterministic forces. The motion (solid line) of an optically trapped Brownian particle (sphere) is a dynamic system whose behaviour results from the interplay of random forces due to the presence of Brownian motion and deterministic forces due to the presence of optical forces (arrows).
