Optimal position detection of a dipolar scatterer in a focused field

Abstract

The quest for bringing optically levitated systems into the quantum regime resulted in several sophisticated detection platforms. Here, tackling the same question from a different perspective, a scheme is derived for achieving the best possible (i.e., Heisenberg limit) position-detection efficiency for measuring a dipolar scatterer in a single-beam optical trap.

Position measurement of a dipolar scatterer via self-homodyne detection

G. Cerchiari, Lorenzo Dania, Dmitry S. Bykov +2 more

We describe a technique to measure the position of a dipolar scatterer based on self-homodyne detection of the scattered light. The method can theoretically reach the Heisenberg limit, at which information gained about the position is constrained only by the back action of the scattered light. The technique has applications in the fields of levitated optomechanics and trapped ions and is generally applicable to the position determination of confined light scatterers.

Optimal orientation detection of an anisotropic dipolar scatterer

Felix Tebbenjohanns, Andrei Militaru, Andreas Norrman +3 more

The angular orientation of an anisotropic scatterer with cylindrical symmetry in a linearly polarized light field represents an optomechanical librator. Here, we propose and theoretically analyze an optimal measurement scheme for the two angular degrees of freedom of such a librator. The imprecision--back-action product of this scheme reaches the Heisenberg uncertainty limit. Furthermore, we propose and analyze a realistic measurement scheme and show that, in the absence of spinning motion around the symmetry axis, measurement-based ground-state cooling of the rotational degrees of freedom of an anisotropic point scatterer levitated in an optical trap is feasible.

Position measurement of a levitated particle with vectorial light

Daniel Tandeitnik, Lucas Bianchi, Sebastian Gutierrez-Bernal +3 more

We develop a fully vectorial, semiclassical scattering formalism for optically levitated dipolar scatterers, expressed within the angular spectrum representation and applicable to arbitrary trapping-field configurations as well as to high--numerical-aperture focusing. Within this framework, we introduce the information radiation pattern to characterize the angular distribution of position-dependent information and use a Richards--Wolf projection of the scattered field onto the local-oscillator mode to quantify the resulting mode-matching efficiency, yielding experimentally realistic forward- and backward-detection efficiencies. As a worked example, we apply the formalism to a radially polarized trapping beam and confirm that the axial recoil heating rate is reduced relative to a conventional linearly polarized Gaussian tweezer. The theoretical framework is implemented in LevitationToolbox, an open-source Python package intended to support the design and optimization of near-Heisenberg-limited levitated optomechanical experiments.
