Experimental demonstration of light-assisted, templated self assembly using photonic-crystal slabs

We demonstrate experimentally that the near field of a photonic-crystal slab can be used to trap square arrays of nanoparticles. This process of light-assisted, templated, self assembly exploits the guided-resonance mode of the photonic crystal for force enhancement.
