A high trap stiffness of approximately 0.85  fN/(nm·mW) at a low-incident laser intensity of ∼0.51  mW/μm2 at 980 nm was obtained. The experimental results were compared to the simulated trapping force, and a reasonable match was achieved. This plasmonic array is useful for lab-on-a-chip applications and has particular appeal for trapping multiple nanoparticles with predefined separations or arranged in patterns in order to study interactions between them.}, pages = {981--986}, title = {Sequential trapping of single nanoparticles using a gold plasmonic nanohole array}, volume = {6}, year = {2018} }
