We present a versatile tool for ultra-sensitive and spatially resolved optical characterization of single nanoparticles.
Using signal enhancement in a scanning optical microcavity made of a micromachined optical fiber and a plane mirror [1] together with higher order cavity modes, we measure the polarization dependent extinction and polarizability of a single nanoparticle. Harnessing multiple interactions of probe light with a sample within the optical resonator, we achieve a 1700-fold signal enhancement compared to diffraction-limited microscopy [2]. We demonstrate first quantitative simultaneous measurements of the extinction cross section and polarizability of a single nanoparticle.
These measurements demonstrate the potential of our technique for very sensitive imaging of dispersive nanoparticles like viruses or biomolecules.
