It is shown that the presence of interference leads to a complex motion of a particle located in a plane perpendicular to the parallel beams. It is also demonstrated that with a change in the angle formed by the intersection of the axes of Bessel beams in the center of the particle, the light pressure force changes nonmonotonically, passing through maxima and minima, the number of which increases with increasing particle size. When the particle is displaced from the intersection point of the axes along a straight line located symmetrically between the beams, the light pressure force oscillates with a change in sign and with a gradually decreasing amplitude.</p>","PeriodicalId":503,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute","volume":"51 9 supplement","pages":"S775 - S788"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143108098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
