Novel Nanoparticles for High-Precision Levitated Optomechanical Sensors
Abstract
We propose basic research on development of novel nanoparticles optimized for applications in high-precision levitated optomechanical sensors. The proposed project will leverage the existing expertise at UNM in support of the Air Force/Space Force mission in the area of high-precision sensing. AFRL works on high-precision sensing using levitated optomechanics, focusing on inertial sensing and low-frequency RF sensing. So far, the experiments at AFRL have been limited to commercially available SiO2 NPs. This limitation will be removed by the proposed collaborative project, thus contributing significantly to achieving high-precision sensing at unprecedented resolution. The project will support a postdoctoral research associate who will interact with our AFRL/USSF collaborators and will be involved in joint experiments to be conducted at AFRL.
