The authors experiment on dispersive coupling with an optically trapped nanoparticle in a setup formed by placing two parallel, highly reflective mirrors facing each other (a Fabry-Përot cavity) in high vacuum. They show nanometre-level control for positioning the nanoparticle with respect to the cavity field. Coupling rates of the system are determined and they expect that by decreasing the mode volume of the cavity, strong cooperativity can be reached.
