Nanoparticle detection and filtering in bottle resonator
I propose to design a platform to detect and filter out particles on the order of 10 nanometers from a liquid in a dynamic environment. An optical cavity confines very large amounts of light is made by modifying a capillary optical fiber for which the light circulates around the outer edge. This large amount of stored light creates a large electric field inside the modified capillary. As a liquid containing nanoparticles is pumped through the capillary it will interact with the electric field which will shift in the wavelength of light entering the cavity. This light-nanoparticle interaction will also pull the nanoparticle towards the edge of the capillary,where the electric field is largest and will keep them at near the edge while the rest of the fluid passes through.
