Optical diffraction for measurements of nano-mechanical bending [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractWe explore and exploit diffraction effects that have been previously neglected when modelling optical measurement techniques for the bending of micro-mechanical transducers such as cantilevers for atomic force microscopy. The illumination of a cantilever edge causes an asymmetric diffraction pattern at the photo-detector affecting the ...
