Fig. 2.

(A and B) Position traces for the D-form particle under LCP and RCP illumination, respectively. The colors of the dots indicate the passage of time. (C) Position dispersion σ for the D-form particle as a function of the ellipticity of the light, (EL − ER)/(EL + ER), where EL and ER are the absolute amplitudes of the LCP and RCP components of the electric field, respectively. (D and E) Position traces for the L-form particle. (F) Position dispersion for the L-form particle as a function of the ellipticity of the light. The intensities of the incident laser were 15 and 34 mW for the D-form (A to C) and L-form (D to F) particles, respectively.
