title: Optical binding between dielectric particles.
abstract: We report observation of optical binding between two dielectric particles with dimensions less than the wavelength of the interacting light. The observed dependence of the separation of optically bound Rayleigh particles on the polarization of the trapping beam is in agreement with earlier theoretical predictions.
