Abstract
The motion of a single particle in the field of an optical resonator was analyzed. It was shown that a high-finesse microcavity could be used as a real-time single-particle detector with high spatial resolution. The spatial intensity distribution outside the cavity allowed direct determination of the particle motion. A realistic atomic trajectory was generated numerically and compared to a reconstructed path for the purpose.
