Object position detection in standing wave
When we studied the object behaviour in standing waves we looked at the object perpendiculary to the beam propagations. Therefore the objects were bright on the dark background. We found out that the shape of the object pattern seen on the CCD changes as the object moves with respect to the standing wave (see the MOVIE). This enables to study precisely object position even with respect to motional standing wave. Optical ratchets or colloids behaviour in travelling potentials can be studied.
This series shows the relative shift of the object with respect to the standing wave by one wavelength.
This method is described in details in our following papers:
