Cold Damping of an Optically Levitated Nanoparticle to micro-Kelvin Temperatures
arXiv:1812.09875 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.223601
Abstract
We implement a cold damping scheme to cool one mode of the center-of-mass motion of an optically levitated nanoparticle in ultrahigh vacuum from room temperature to a record-low temperature of 100 micro-Kelvin. The measured temperature dependence on feedback gain and thermal decoherence rate is in excellent agreement with a parameter-free model. We determine the imprecision-backaction product for our system and provide a roadmap towards ground-state cooling of optically levitated nanoparticles.
