| contents | We consider Rayleigh particles in a periodically modulated optical trap formed by two counter-propagating Gaussian beams. It is shown that for certain values of parameters the system exhibits transient chaos which manifests itself in particle acceleration and subsequent directional ejection out of the trap. The escape flights are terminated at the distance of hundreds wavelengths from the trap centrum and the particles return to the trap under the action of the Stokes force. The particle escape is shown to be a threshold effect that can be potentially employed for particle sorting. |
