FDTD simulation of optical force under non-ideal conditions

Mengzhu Hu et al.

Summary: The paper investigates the optical forces of particles in optical tweezers under non-ideal conditions using FDTD method and MST. Numerical results show changes in trapping stiffness and equilibrium position due to common non-ideal conditions in experiments. This study aims to estimate errors in optical force in real situations and optimize the performance of optical tweezers.

Numerical Analysis of Optical Trapping Force Affected by Lens Misalignments

Hanlin Zhang et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the effect of lens misalignment on optical force within the geometrical optics range, and found that lens tilting has a greater impact on optical force than off-axis misalignment. The misalignments will couple with each other, causing a shift of the equilibrium point and asymmetry in optical trap stiffness.

Revolution of a trapped particle in counter-propagating dual-beam optical tweezers under low pressure

Xunmin Zhu et al.

Summary: The study investigates the revolution of suspended particles in optical tweezers under low pressure, proposing an in situ method for revolution suppression by adjusting the laser beam and observing the power spectral density and time-domain plot. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method at low pressures and reveal the mechanism behind the revolution phenomenon. The rapidly growing Q value of the revolution indicates a high-precision resonance measurement method under lower air pressure compared with random translation measurements.

Fast size estimation of single-levitated nanoparticles in a vacuum optomechanical system

Cui-Hong Li et al.

Summary: A method for estimating the size of nanoparticles in an optical tweezer system before air evacuation was proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The results showed good agreement between the particle radii deduced from scattering light power and from the kinetic theory of particles in gas, with differences of less than 10%. This method can also be used for the size estimation of diamond particles, gold particles, and other plasmonic particles, as well as for discovering novel scattering effects.

Temperature and humidity effects on CG-6 gravity observations

P. I. A. Weerasinghe et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of ambient temperature and humidity on gravity measurements using the CG-6 gravity meter. It was found that the sensor temperature and gravity reading were highly correlated with ambient temperature. The calculated ambient temperature correction was shown to be more stable than the correction provided by the instrument.
