  • Drift-corrected, high-resolution optical trap and high-sensitivity angular interferometer
    Patent number: 10126546
    Abstract: A drift-adjusted interferometer and optical trap are disclosed that employ two reference beams with an optical property that allows them to be separated from the two trapping beams. The reference and trapping beams are combined collinearly and optically inverted so that each reference beam overlays with the opposite trapping beam. Each pair of beams is then focused on a microsphere and the resulting four back-focal plane interferometry signals are monitored such that the relative motion between a given trapping beam with its overlaid reference beam provides a direct measurement of the physical drift occurring due to mechanical drift of the differential path components.
