Paper Abstract

A single exposure of digital Gabor holography (DGH) is used for simultaneous three-dimensional measurement of particle position. The particle sample is set up such that its position can be electro-mechanically manipulated using calibrated piezoelectric transducers in both the lateral and axial directions. The central position of the reconstructed image of the particle is determined by low-pass filtering, thresholding, and center-of-mass calculation. We have obtained less than 20 nm resolution in both the lateral and axial directions in a direct and unambiguous manner. The method is applied to calibration of optical trap strength.
