Abstract

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.

Optical trapping and cooling of glass microspheres

Mark G. Raizen, Simon Kheifets, Tongcang Li

We report on experiments studying the Brownian motion of an optically trapped bead in air, and observe for the first time the short-time regime of ballistic motion. Einstein predicted this effect in 1907, but said the experiment would be impossible in practice. Our measurements were enabled by our development of a new detection system that is capable of real-time tracking of the motion of a trapped bead on unprecedented short time scales and correspondingly small length scales. We used the data to measure the average kinetic energy of a Brownian particle, and find good agreement with the energy equipartition theorem of statistical mechanics. Measurement of the instantaneous velocity also allows us to stably trap beads in vacuum, using active feedback to control and cool the center of mass motion to mK temperatures in three dimensions. The system of an optically trapped bead in vacuum can serve as a testing ground for macroscopic quantum superpositions and the role of decoherence. In the opposite extreme, a trapped bead in a fluid can be used to test basic questions in statistical mechanics, and fluid dynamics on the smallest scales.

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.

Optical trap and control of a nanoparticle in vacuum towards a mixture with ultracold atoms

Daisuke Akamatsu

We design and build a new experimental setup to demonstrate a mixture of a single nanoparticle and laser-cooled atoms. This system aims for investigating the low-energy scattering of ultracold atoms by a dielectric nanoparticle. The wave nature of the cold atoms manifests itself in both elastic and inelastic cross sections. In the new experimental system at Yokohama National University, we demonstrated optical trapping and cooling of a glass nanoparticle in vacuum. The ballistic Brownian motion of the nanoparticle in the harmonic potential was observed. We also demonstrated parametric cooling of the center of mass motion of the nanoparticle. We discuss the prospects for realization of a mixture of a single nanoparticle and laser-cooled atoms.
