Abstract
A single vertical laser beam is used to trap SiO2 and vaterite spheres with diameters ranging from 5 to 32um. The center of mass acceleration sensitivity for the SiO2 spheres is as low as 4 × 10−7 g/Hz−1/2 for the largest spheres. This system also allows high-bandwidth modulation of the polarization of the trapping beam, enabling control of the rotation of the microspheres. The maximum rotation speeds exceed a few MHz for both types of spheres, while the damping time exceeds several hours at 2 × 10−7 mbar. This setup can be used to measure forces and torques acting on the microspheres
