Abstract
We propose an all-fiber interferometer based on laser Doppler velocimetry in a dual-beam fiber-optic trap to measure the displacement and velocity of a trapped particle. ABCD matrices are used to compute the contrast ratio of the interference. The influence of the reflectivity of the fiber end face is discussed. We have designed an optimized reflectivity based on the parameters of our setup. The antireflective coatings on the fiber end face are employed to achieve the given reflectivity. The displacement and velocity of the trapped microparticle are successfully measured by the period and frequency of the interference signal, respectively. The sensitivity of the displacement detection is 368 nm. By describing the miniaturization of the detection system, this paper provides a simple and practical scheme to achieve the integration of the entire optical trapping setup.
