Abstract

An experimental strategy for post-eliminating thermal noise on position measurements of optically trapped particles is presented. Using a nanosecond pulsed laser, synchronized to the detection system, to exert a periodic driving force on an optically trapped 10 μm polystyrene bead, the laser pulse-bead interaction is repeated hundreds of times. Traces with the bead position following the prompt displacement from equilibrium, induced by each laser pulse, are averaged and reveal the underlying deterministic motion of the bead, which is not visible in a single trace due to thermal noise. The motion of the bead is analyzed from the direct time-dependent position measurements and from the power spectrum. The results show that the bead is on average displaced 208 nm from the trap center and exposed to a force amplitude of 71 nanoNewton, more than five orders of magnitude larger than the trapping forces. Our experimental method may have implications for microrheology.

“The experiment was only carried out at one power of the pulsed laser beam. If the power is reduced (increased) we expect a qualitative similar motion of the bead, following the laser pulse, but with a reduced (increased) maximum displacement from equilibrium due to the weaker (stronger) push from the laser pulse. Beyond a certain power the action on the bead will be so strong that it is pushed out of the optical trap.”

“The experiment was only carried out at one power of the pulsed laser beam. If the power is reduced (increased) we expect a qualitative similar motion of the bead, following the laser pulse, but with a reduced (increased) maximum displacement from equilibrium due to the weaker (stronger) push from the laser pulse. Beyond a certain power the action on the bead will be so strong that it is pushed out of the optical trap.”

Fig. 1

Schematics showing the pulsed laser setup. The zoom-in on the upper left part shows a cartoon of the experimental procedure described in the main text. This is also the point of view of the motion-camera which monitors the experiment through one of the trapping objectives (not shown). The two counter-propagating trapping beams are aligned along the z-axis and are indicated by the red coloring in the cartoon. The inset shows the camera trigger setup.

Bead position as a function of time with and without the pulsed laser included. The vertical dashed lines indicate the positions of the pulse-bead interaction events. The first pulse is located at time t = 0 s.

Fig. 3

Plot of the bead’s averaged y-position as a function of time (blue dots). Averaging 450 events like the seven shown in Fig. 2 gave this result. The inset shows the same for the average of 45 events including error bars (shown for every tenth data point), which indicate the standard deviation of the 45 measurements, i. e. the magnitude of the thermal motion. The fits of Eq. (3) are shown by the red dashed lines. They are almost indistinguishable from the data.
