    Area of Science:

    • Optics
    • Nanotechnology
    • Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics

    Background:

    • Optically levitated nanoparticles offer a unique environment for studying light-matter interactions, free from substrate interference.
    • Understanding light scattering and interference from nanoparticles is crucial for developing advanced optical techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally investigate the interference patterns of dipole-scattered light from two optically levitated nanoparticles in a vacuum.
    • To demonstrate a novel method for determining spatial scales between nanoparticles using interference fringes.

    Main Methods:

    • Two optically levitated nanoparticles were illuminated with a linearly polarized probe beam in a vacuum.
    • Scattered light was collected using a high numerical aperture (NA) objective lens and imaged.
    • Interference fringes were analyzed in both image and Fourier spaces for various dipole orientations.

    Main Results:

    • Observed interference fringes from scattered vector light, revealing patterns dependent on dipole orientations.
    • Demonstrated a π shift in interference fringes for scattered light fields with a polarization vortex between the nanoparticles.
    • Achieved the first experimental observation of scattered vector light field interference from two dipoles in free space.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully demonstrated the interference of scattered vector light from two levitated nanoparticles.
    • The observed interference fringes offer a simple and direct method for measuring spatial scales between nanoparticles.
    • This work opens new avenues for precise manipulation and characterization of multiple nanoparticles in free space.
