Recoil-heating modulation in levitated optomechanics through optical wavefront shaping
Hugo Marot, Joel Love Nanfack, Murad Abuzarli +3
Optical levitation relies on light forces to trap mesoscopic objects in a vacuum and assemble pristine oscillators, whose mechanical properties are commonly tamed through laser-int…
Wavefront Shaping of Scattering Forces Enhances Optical Trapping of Levitated Nanoparticles
Melissa Kleine, Michael Horodynski, Stefan Rotter +4
Optically-levitated nanoparticles in vacuum offer a pristine platform for high-quality mechanical oscillators, enabling a wide range of precision measurements and quantum technolog…
Non-Gaussian diffusion near surfaces
Arthur Alexandre, Maxime Lavaud, Nicolas Fares +6
We study the diffusion of particles confined close to a single wall and in double-wall planar channel geometries where the local diffusivities depend on the distance to the boundar…
Giant diffusion of nanomechanical rotors in a tilted washboard potential
Louis. Bellando, Melissa. Kleine, Yacine. Amarouchene +2
We present an experimental realization of a biased optical periodic potential in the low friction limit. The noise-induced bistability between locked (torsional) and running (spinn…
Stochastic Inference of Surface-Induced Effects using Brownian Motion
Maxime Lavaud, Thomas Salez, Yann Louyer +1
Brownian motion in confinement and at interfaces is a canonical situation, encountered from fundamental biophysics to nanoscale engineering. Using the Lorenz-Mie framework, we opti…
The role of non-conservative scattering forces and damping on Brownian particles in optical traps
Matthieu Mangeat, Yacine Amarouchene, Yann Louyer +2
We consider a model of a particle trapped in a harmonic optical trap but with the addition of a non-conservative radiation induced force. This model is known to correctly describe…
Nonequilibrium dynamics induced by scattering forces for optically trapped nanoparticles in strongly inertial regimes
Yacine Amarouchene, Matthieu Mangeat, Benjamin Vidal Montes +4
As a first approximation, the forces acting on optically trapped particles are commonly assumed to be conservative. The influence of the nonconservative force has been shown to be…
Tunable Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators for Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics
Y. Louyer, D. Meschede, A. Rauschenbeutel
We theoretically study the properties of highly prolate shaped dielectric microresonators. Such resonators sustain whispering gallery modes that exhibit two spatially well separate…
