Analyzing Custom Proof Masses and Quantum Limits of a Manufacturable Cavity Optical Levitation Solution
This report details results of a one-year LDRD to understand the dynamics, figures of merit, and fabrication possibilities for levitating a micro-scale, disk-shaped dielectric in an optical field. Important metrics are the stability, positional uncertainty, and required optical power to maintain levitation. Much of the results are contained in a publication written by our academic alliance collaborators. Initial structures were grown at Sandia labs and a test fabrication flow was executed. Owing to our strength in VCSEL lasers, we were particularly interested in calculations and fabrication flows that could be compatible with a VCSEL light source.
