Abstract

Feedback enhanced optical tweezers with position regulation capability enable detection and estimation of forces in the pico-Newton regime. In this article we delineate the fundamental limitations and challenges of existing approaches for regulating position and force estimation in an optical tweezer. A modern control systems approach is shown to improve the bandwidth of force estimation by three to four times which is corroborated experimentally.
