description The optical trapping of micro-nano particles in a high vacuum has become a popular research platform in various frontier fields of physics because of its excellent isolation from the environment. The precise measurement of particle motion information is required to analyze and control particle motion modes in traps. However, the detection accuracy is limited by measurement noise and coupling signals from other axes in microparticle optical traps. In this study, we use the Kalman filter to extract the real motion information of each axis under simulation conditions, and the results show that the Kalman filter performs well in noise suppression, improving the RMSE from 12.64 to 5.18 nm and enhancing the feedback cooling performance by approximately 27% through reducing the axes’ signal coupling ratio. We believe that as a solution to these challenges, the Kalman filter will bring a significant achievement to micrometer particle optical traps in vacuums.
