Atto-Nm Torque Sensing with a Macroscopic Optomechanical Torsion Pendulum

Kentaro Komori, Yutaro Enomoto, Ching Pin Ooi +5

Precise measurements of the displacement of, and force acting on, a mechanical oscillator can be performed by coupling the oscillator to an optical cavity. Brownian thermal forces…
