We report optical trapping of glass microspheres in air and vacuum, and measurement of Brownian motion of single microspheres at different pressures. We are working on cooling the center-of-mass motion of a trapped microsphere.

We report optical trapping of glass microspheres in air and vacuum, and measurement of Brownian motion of single microspheres at different pressures. We have also cooled the center of mass in vacuum to 2 mK.

Cavity and Doppler cooling of trapped silica nanospheres and microspheres to their motional ground state is described. Characterisation of the levitation of a range of silica spheres from radius 25 nm to 5 µm in both optical and ion traps in vacuum is reported and prospects for realizing cooling in these systems is discussed.
