摘要

Abstract

An original form of photonic force microscope has been d

eveloped. Operating with a trapped lanthanide-doped crystal of nanometric dimensions

a minimum detected force of the order of 110 aN and a force sensitivity down to 1.8 fN/

$$ \sqrt{{\rm{Hz}}} $$

have been realised. This opens up new prospects for force sensing in the physical sciences.
