In this paper, we study a stable optomechanical system based on a nanoparticle chain coupled to a waveguide mode. Under the plane wave excitation the nanoparticles form a stable self-organized periodic chain array along the direction of the waveguide through the transverse binding effect. We show that owing to the long-range interaction between the nanoparticles the trapping potential for each nanoparticle in the chain increases linearly with the system size making the formation of long chains more favourable. We propose that this effect can be observed with an optical nanofiber which is a versatile platform for achieving optical binding of atoms and nanoparticles. Our calculations show that binding energy for two nanoparticles is in the range of $9\div13~kT$ reaching the value of 100 $kT$ when the size of the chain is increased to 20 nanoparticles that makes the potential experimental observation of the effect possible. We also suggest the geometry of the two counter-propagating plane waves excitation, which will allow trapping the nanoparticles close to the optical nanofiber providing efficient interaction between the nanoparticles and the nanofiber. |
