Extraction of Bend-Resolved Modal Basis in Deformed Multimode Fiber

Lubomir Skvarenina, Stephen Simpson, Yashar Alizadeh +1

Mode mixing in optical fibers caused by mechanical bending induces perturbations that distort the spatial field profile of coherent beams as they propagate through few-mode or mult…

Observations of a PT-like phase transition and limit cycle oscillations in non-reciprocally coupled optomechanical oscillators levitated in vacuum

Vojtěch Liška, Tereza Zemánková, Petr Jákl +4

Nanoparticles levitated in an optical trap provide a versatile platform to study mechanical oscillators in a controlled environment with tuneable parameters. Recently, it has becom…

Cold damping of levitated optically coupled nanoparticles

Vojtech Liska, Tereza Zemankova, Vojtech Svak +6

Methods for controlling the motion of single particles, optically levitated in vacuum, have developed rapidly in recent years. The technique of cold damping makes use of feedback-c…

Synchronization of spin-driven limit cycle oscillators optically levitated in vacuum

Oto Brzobohaty, Martin Duchan, Petr Jakl +3

We explore, experimentally and theoretically, the emergence of coherent coupled oscillations and synchronization between a pair of non-Hermitian, stochastic, opto-mechanical oscill…

Roadmap for Optical Tweezers

Giovanni Volpe, Onofrio M. Maragò, Halina Rubinzstein-Dunlop +80

Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and manipulation of objects ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work b…

Orbital Motion From Optical Spin: The Extraordinary Momentum Of Circularly Polarized Light Beams

V. Svak, O. Brobohaty, M. Siler +4

We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thoug…

Direct measurements of the extraordinary optical momentum and transverse spin-dependent force using a nano-cantilever

M. Antognozzi, C. R. Bermingham, R. L. Harniman +8

Known since Kepler's observation that a comet's tail is oriented away from the sun, radiation pressure stimulated remarkable discoveries in electromagnetism, quantum physics and re…
