Abstract

A method of gas species separation in niicroscale capillaries is proposed, based on the non-resonant interaction of polarizable molecules with an optical lattice produced by the interaction of two counter-propagating laser beams. Analytic expressions are developed that allow fast and reliable estimates of separation efficiency based on the gas and laser properties. The expressions are found to agree reasonably well with results obtained with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method both in terms of flow velocities and concentration differences.
