Figure 6.1 — Complex non-spherical particles. A variety of computational methods are required to calculate the optical forces on objects other than (a) homogeneous spheres, such as (b) layered spheres, (c) cubes (here made of an array of spheres), (d) aggregates of spheres and (e) particles with inclusions of different materials.
