摘要

Abstract

Precise control over light-matter interactions is critical for many optical manipulation and material characterization methodologies

further playing a paramount role in a host of nanotechnology applications. Nonetheless

the fundamental aspects of interactions between electromagnetic fields and matter have yet to be established unequivocally in terms of an electromagnetic momentum density. Here

we use tightly focused pulsed laser beams to detect bulk and boundary optical forces in a dielectric fluid. From the optical convoluted signal

we decouple thermal and nonlinear optical effects from the radiation forces using a theoretical interpretation based on the Microscopic Ampère force density. It is shown

for the first time

that the time-dependent pressure distribution within the fluid chiefly originates from the electrostriction effects. Our results shed light on the contribution of optical forces to the surface displacements observed at the dielectric air-water interfaces

thus shedding light on the long-standing controversy surrounding the basic definition of electromagnetic momentum density in matter.
