Abstract

We report the first-ever observation of optomagnetically-driven rotation of a magnetic particle, optically levitated inside a chiral hollow-core photonic crystal fibre (HC-PCF). Rotation of the optically biaxial particle causes a change in the transmitted power and ellipticity of a linearly polarised probe beam at 632.8 nm. HC-PCF offers a versatile platform for investigating the optomechanical response of levitated magnetic particles.
