Precise subnanometer control of the position of a macro object by light pressure

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

For the first time to the authors’ knowledge, efficient control of the position of a macro object by coherent light was demonstrated. The minimal controllable mechanical displacement induced by the light pressure was 9 pm. No dependence of light pressure on wavelength in a broad wavelength range (405–1560 nm) was observed, as predicted by Maxwell’s theory.
