An apparatus for in-vacuum loading of nanoparticles into an optical trap
Evan Weisman, Chethn Krishna Galla, Cris Montoya +7
We describe the design, construction, and operation of an apparatus utilizing a piezoelectric transducer for in-vacuum loading of nanoparticles into an optical trap for use in levi…
Nanomechanical testing of silica nanospheres for levitated optomechanics experiments
Cayla R. Harvey, Evan Weisman, Chethn Galla +5
Optically-levitated dielectric particles can serve as ultra-sensitive detectors of feeble forces and torques, as tools for use in quantum information science, and as a testbed for…
Optical trapping of high-aspect-ratio NaYF hexagonal prisms for kHz-MHz gravitational wave detectors
George Winstone, Zhiyuan Wang, Shelby Klomp +9
We present experimental results on optical trapping of Yb-doped NaYF sub-wavelength-thickness high-aspect-ratio hexagonal prisms with a micron-scale radius. The prisms are trap…
