Nonlinear optomechanical measurement of mechanical motion.
Precision measurement of nonlinear observables is an important goal in all facets of quantum optics. This allows measurement-based non-classical state preparation, which has been applied to great success in various physical systems, and provides a route for quantum information processing with otherwise linear interactions. In cavity optomechanics much progress has been made using linear interac...
متن کاملDirect measurement of shear-induced cross-correlations of Brownian motion.
Shear-induced cross-correlations of particle fluctuations perpendicular and along streamlines are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Direct measurements of the Brownian motion of micron-sized beads, held by optical tweezers in a shear-flow cell, show a strong time asymmetry in the cross-correlation, which is caused by the non-normal amplification of fluctuations. Complementary measu...
متن کاملOptical Tracking of Three-Dimensional Brownian Motion of Nanoparticles
Novel optical techniques are presented for three-dimensional tracking of nanoparticles; Optical Serial Sectioning Microscopy (OSSM) and Ratiometric Total Internal Reflection Fluorescent Microscopy (R-TIRFM). OSSM measures optically diffracted particle images, the so-called Point Spread Function (PSF), and determines the defocusing or line-of-sight location of the imaged particle measured from t...
متن کاملBrownian Brownian Motion – I
A classical model of Brownian motion consists of a heavy molecule submerged into a gas of light atoms in a closed container. In this work we study a 2D version of this model, where the molecule is a heavy disk of mass M ≫ 1 and the gas is represented by just one point particle of mass m = 1, which interacts with the disk and the walls of the container via elastic collisions. Chaotic behavior of...
