Optomechanical Levitation and Control of High Aspect Ratio Silicon Nanorods
Zhenan Chen, Sophie Sanghera, Yanhui Hu +7
Nano- and micro-particles levitated by optical, electrical or magnetic fields are a new frontier in precision sensing and for tests of fundamental physics. For optically levitated…
Structured transverse orbital angular momentum probed by a levitated optomechanical sensor
Yanhui Hu, Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Maryam Nikkhou +4
The momentum carried by structured light fields exhibits a rich array of surprising features. In this work, we generate transverse orbital angular momentum (TOAM) in the interferen…
Direct and clean loading of nanoparticles into optical traps at millibar pressures
Maryam Nikkhou, Yanhui Hu, James A. Sabin +1
Nanoparticles levitated by optical fields under vacuum conditions have applications in quantum science, the study of nanothermodynamics and precision sensing. Existing techniques f…
