Trap-to-trap free falls with an optically levitated nanoparticle
M. Luisa Mattana, Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi +4
We perform free-fall experiments with a charge-neutral, optically levitated nanoparticle. This is achieved using an optical tweezer that can be rapidly toggled on and off and verti…
State Expansion of a Levitated Nanoparticle in a Dark Harmonic Potential
Eric Bonvin, Louisiane Devaud, Massimiliano Rossi +7
Levitated nanoparticles in vacuum are prime candidates for generating macroscopic quantum superposition states of massive objects. Most protocols for preparing these states necessi…
Hybrid Paul-optical trap with large optical access for levitated optomechanics
Eric Bonvin, Louisiane Devaud, Massimiliano Rossi +7
We present a hybrid trapping platform that allows us to levitate a charged nanoparticle in high vacuum using either optical fields, radio-frequency fields, or a combination thereof…
Surface-Sensitive Raman Scattering by Transferable Nanoporous Plasmonic Membranes
Roman M. Wyss, Günter Kewes, Martin Frimmer +11
Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique to characterize materials. It probes non-destructively chemical composition, crystallinity, defects, strain and coupling phenomena. Howev…
One-dimensional edge contacts to a monolayer semiconductor
Achint Jain, Áron Szabó, Markus Parzefall +6
Integration of electrical contacts into van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures is critical for realizing electronic and optoelectronic functionalities. However, to date no scalable m…
Quantized optical near-field interactions measured with a superconducting nanowire detector
Karol Luszcz, Eric Bonvin, Lukas Novotny
The quantum nature of optical near-fields is interesting from a theoretical perspective and of importance for practical applications, such as high-resolution imaging, sensing and a…
