Abstract
On applying a theorem previously derived by Wolf and Collett, we demonstrate that partially coherent Gaussian Schell model uctuating sources (GSMS) produce exactly the same optical forces as a fully coherent laser beam. We also show that this kind of sources helps to control the light-matter interaction in biological samples which are very sensitive to thermal heating induced by higher power intensities; and hence the invasiveness of the manipulation. This is a consequence of the fact that the same photonic force can be obtained with a low intensity GSMS as with a high intensity laser beam.
