Optical forces is a unique phenomenon derived from light–matter interaction. It took
centuries before people were finally able to measure, and manipulate this extremely tiny …

The optical force-induced elastic wave is one of the fundamental mechanisms of the optical
force-induced motion on a macroscopic scale, its amplitude is extremely small and easily …

The concept of EM Drive has attracted much attention and groups of work have been
conducted to prove or verify it, of which the published experimental outcome is criticized in …

For interstellar missions, directed energy is envisioned to drive wafer-scale spacecraft to
relativistic speeds. Spacecraft propulsion is provided by a large array of phase-locked …

During the interaction of a laser pulse with the surface of a solid object, the object always
gains momentum. The delivered force impulse is manifested as propulsion. Initially, the …

We treat the light-matter interaction due to radiation pressure in one dimension using the
fundamental, nonrelativistic conservation principles of energy and momentum. Additionally …

In this paper, radiation pressure induced deformation of a series of thin aluminum reflectors
is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Theory of quantum mechanics and material …

We investigate the reflection of massive particles from moving mirrors. The adoption of the
formalism based on the energy-momentum allowed us to derive the most general set of …

Reflection, refraction, and absorption of light by material media are, in general,
accompanied by a transfer of optical energy and momentum to the media. Consequently, the …

A photonic pressure sensor device includes a cantilever pivotally attached to a fixed mount.
The cantilever has an electromagnetic reactive material located thereon that is configured to …
