Detection of anisotropic particles in levitated optomechanics

Abstract

We discuss the detection of an anisotropic particle trapped by an elliptically polarized focused Gaussian laser beam. We obtain the full rotational and translational dynamics, as well as, the measured photo-current in a general-dyne detection. As an example, we discuss a toy model of homodyne detection, which captures the main features typically found in experimental setups.
