Abstract

In 1-D photonic crystal with structural defects, localized mode results in strong electromagnetic fields around the position of the defect. Thus, the strong fields enhance the tangential force on a lossy dielectric layer, as well as normal force on the perfect dielectric slab. The results of this study suggest a class of micro-machines driven by electromagnetic wave, such as sunlight or microwave.
