Path integrals and nonlinear optical tweezers
arXiv:2009.06508 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.103.013110
Abstract
We use path integrals to calculate perturbative corrections to the correlation function of a particle under the action of nonlinear optical tweezers, both in the overdamped and underdamped regimes. In both cases, it is found that to leading order nonlinearities manifest as shifts in the characteristic frequency of the system. The results are compared to numerical simulations. The present calculations enable a direct experimental method to access the nonlinear optical trap parameters by analyzing position data, similarly to standard harmonic tweezers.
