Another hobby is radio controlled model aircraft, on which route i'm just starting out on. I've taken apart old CD-rom drives, with the idea of making a homemade actuator for ailerons/rudder. Having noticed that full travel (but harsh) coil movements can be made with direct 3.6V contact to the coil points on the focusing assembly, it seems quite related to your idea. Fine control of the coil for laser focusing would lead to better detections of hair movement...something for experimentation.
How to read the data more like a record player would be the thing, which brings in the oscilloscope method you used perhaps. Very interesting indeed. Thank you
