Raman optical tweezers have a wide range of applications in aerosol property measurements, such as moisture absorption and volatility properties. When capturing aerosols with optical tweezers, it has the advantage of non-contact and non-damage to aerosols. However, there is a problem of low capture efficiency of aerosols when aerosol property measurements are performed with Raman optical tweezers, which affects the efficiency of aerosol property measurement experiments. Here, we propose a flow rate control-based method to improve the aerosol capture efficiency. Firstly, we clarify that the most suitable atomization angle is 30 degrees by simulating the flow rate distribution of aerosol in the chamber under different atomization angle conditions. Then, we conduct aerosol capture efficiency validation experiments. Finally, we carry out an aerosol property measurement experiment based on the proposed aerosol capture method. The proposed aerosol flow rate control-based method can improve the capture efficiency not only of aerosols but also of micro- and nanoparticles in vacuum optical tweezer systems.
Before the inertial instrument unit (IMU) is equipped on the carrier, its dynamic performance needs to be measured with a dynamic test equipment (DTE), such as vibration table, turntable and.so on. It is very difficult to separate the internal error of the DTE from the IMU navigation error. Traditional attitude measurement methods cannot simultaneously meet the measurement requirements of non-contact, high precision, large bandwidth, high speed and high sensitivity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a third-party attitude performance measurement and evaluation system to realize the calibration of IMU dynamic performance and equipment error, which is of great significance for improving IMU dynamic performance and reducing test equipment error. Attitude measurement refers to the measurement of the rotation angle of a space object around three orthogonal axes. In order to achieve non-contact, high-precision, large-bandwidth, high-speed and high-sensitivity dynamic attitude measurement, this paper proposes a three-dimensional dynamic non-contact attitude detection demonstration based on Doppler laser vibrometer (DLV), expounds the principle of the vertical deflection of the pentaprism, establishes a mathematical model of the optical path deflection error of the pentaprism that affects the measurement accuracy, analyzes the key factors that affect the measurement accuracy and builds an experimental system to verify the measurement plan. When the measurement angle is not less than ±10°, the three-axis angle measurement accuracy is less than 0.01°.
In order to detect weak magnetic field, the demonstration based on all-fiber full polarization Sagnac magnetic sensor was used in our scheme. Beam condense system(BCS) is very meaningful as one of the key technologies in this magnetic sensor. In the paper, we introduce a simple way to design a BCS. Because of the restriction of the system space, the BCS can’t take too much space. However, the common product of beam condense system is kind of complex and will take much space, these disadvantages can’t meet the application. We choose small lenses, design the simple workpiece by ourselves and coupling into our detection system. The workpiece including pressure rings and sleeves. In our plan, we choose telescope system as optical path. After passing the beam condense system, the diameter of beam can be smaller and reflect in magnetic-optical crystal (MOC) many times. In this way, the sensitivity of detection system can be magnified for about 11 times. Overall, the most obvious advantages of this beam condense system are simple structure, small space and low cost. There are two important parameters of beam condense system: The first is called condense ratio, which can be controlled by the choice of lenses. The second is called final beam diffusion angle, which depended on both the condense ratio and beam diffusion angle of collimating lens.
The rapid development of modern science and technology puts forward higher and higher requirements for displacement measurement. As a non-contact measurement technology, laser ranging has played an important role in various fields for the unique advantages and has become a hot topic in the field of measurement research. At present, there are little research on high-precision displacement measurement at medium and long distance, the needs of which are widespread in practical application, so this work has important value. Among various laser ranging technologies, the laser triangulation method has the advantages of high-speed, high precision, simple structure, etc. Therefore, this paper chooses the direct laser triangulation method to carry out the research after analyzed the common types of laser triangulation system. In view of the requirements of high-precision displacement measurement requirements at medium and long distance, this article discussed the design of laser triangulation measuring system and the selection of structural parameters. Then we proposed a direct laser triangulation measurement structure under Scheimpflug conditions. This system selects PSD displacement transducer to collect the position information of the scattered light spot. After that, this paper discusses the principle of laser triangulation distance measurement and simulates the system. Then the influence of different parameters on high-precision displacement measurement and the relationship between them are investigated. Based on the research talked above, we got a set of structural parameters of the displacement measurement system. The measurement accuracy can be ~micron with the working distance of 500mm.

Levitated microspheres have enabled a wide variety of precision sensing applications which have caught great attentions in recent years. Optical tweezers technology is one of the most important methods of microspheres levitation. The stability of laser power directly affects the microspheres levitation and the precision of the measurement. This paper discusses the major factors of power stabilization in semiconductor laser. A PID-controlled model is used to control the feedback on the laser. The system mode is established after the analyzing of the characteristic of the model parameters. The experiment is demonstrated with a commercial semiconductor laser. With the external power stabilization module a 16dB laser power stability control is achieved at the relaxation oscillation, and the long-term stability is improved from 3% to 0.4%.
In this paper, the gradient force and scattering force of two kinds of different sinusoidal modulated Gaussian beams (SMGBs(n=2), SMGB (n=4)) and Gaussian beam (Gb) are analyzed, and their ability to capture particles are studied. It is found that sinusoidal modulated Gaussian beams have multiple stable capture positions at the focal plane than Gaussian beam. Under the same circumstance, Monte Carlo stochastic simulation method is used to simulate the tendency characteristics of particles under the effect of gradient force and scattering force, which verifies the theoretical analysis results. Therefore, the research results of this paper have certain guiding significance in the experiment and application of multi-position optical tweezers.
In this paper, we simulate the dynamic movement of a dielectric sphere in optical trap. This dynamic analysis can be used to calibrate optical forces, increase trapping efficiency and measure viscous coefficient of surrounding medium. Since an accurate dynamic analysis is based on a detailed force calculation, we calculate all forces a sphere receives. We get the forces of dual-beam gradient radiation pressure on a micron-sized dielectric sphere in the ray optics regime and utilize Einstein-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck to deal with its Brownian motion forces. Hydrodynamic viscous force also exists when the sphere moves in liquid. Forces from buoyance and gravity are also taken into consideration. Then we simulate trajectory of a sphere when it is subject to all these forces in a dual optical trap. From our dynamic analysis, the sphere can be trapped at an equilibrium point in static water, although it permanently fluctuates around the equilibrium point due to thermal effects. We go a step further to analyze the effects of misalignment of two optical traps. Trapping and escaping phenomena of the sphere in flowing water are also simulated. In flowing water, the sphere is dragged away from the equilibrium point. This dragging distance increases with the decrease of optical power, which results in escaping of the sphere with optical power below a threshold. In both trapping and escaping process we calculate the forces and position of the sphere. Finally, we analyze a trapping region in dual optical tweezers.
Based on ray tracing method of ray optics (RO) theory and T-matrix method of electromagnetic scattering theory, we establish optical trap force model and calculate the optical trap force of trapped microspheres whose size is in the beam wavelength scale. Calculation results of axial and transverse trapping efficiency based on the two models agree qualitatively, but differ quantitatively. Then we introduce a trapping efficiency calculation deviation parameter to characterize the difference between these two methods, and analyze how the deviation parameter is influenced by trapped microsphere radius and trapping beam waist radius. Simulation result shows that best agreement between RO model and T matrix calculation method is met when a strongly focused laser beam traps a large microsphere in near the beam waist plane area. In such cases both ray optics approximation conditions and T matrix method approximate conditions are satisfied. Numerical results coincide well with theoretical expectations.
A chip of fiber optical trap paves the way to realize the miniaturization and portability of devices based on dual beam optical trap, without loss of stability. We have designed two types of chip of fiber optical trap according to our theoretical simulation. The first one integrates dual beam optical trap with microfluidic chip, called a chip of semi-sealing fiber optical trap. It is generally used in chemical, biological, medical and other high-throughput experiments. The second one is a chip of full-sealing fiber optical trap. It is used to measure precisely the coefficient of viscosity or the Brownian movement of micro-object’s in liquid. This paper focuses on the chip of fiber optical trap. We present two types of chips of fiber optical trap and detail their designs, fabrication and validation. The chip of semi-sealing fiber optical trap is integrated with optical fiber and microfluidic chip made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). We have achieved the micro-sized alignment of optical paths and the trapping of micro-sized particles in the chip of semi-sealing fiber optical trap. In addition, it is easy to fabrication and clean. The chip of full-sealing fiber optical trap was based on a cubic micro-cavity made by a rectangular capillary tube and sealed by PDMS. We have achieved micro-sized alignment accuracy, high trapping efficiency and better trapping stability in the chip of full-sealing fiber optical trap as well.
