Coherent Laser Levitation for Precision Sensing and Enabling Science

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    When light collides with matter, it may exert a force called radiation pressure. This project will use radiation pressure to levitate a small mirror. Using a tripod of laser beams, it is possible to levitate and trap the mirror in a stable position. Radi
