We present a fast, displacement-measuring, single-pass, two-detector homodyne
quadrature laser interferometer and compare its performance with an arm-compensated …

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 performed a single-shot, contactless measurement of ultrasonic waves on a laser-
propelled rod with a homodyne quadrature laser interferometer (HQLI) during the entire …

An oblique reflection of a laser pulse from a fully reflective mirror is treated using the
fundamental nonrelativistic conservation principles of energy and momentum. Since the …

The term optodynamics has been introduced to describe a wide range of optically induced
dynamic phenomena, which play an important role in laser–material processes as well as in …

A rod acquires linear momentum during a short-laser-pulse ablation of its front face. Initially,
this momentum is localized within the propagating laser-induced mechanical pulse—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 …

Для регистрации оптико-механических характеристик при лазерной абляции
используется ряд методов, измеряющих непосредственно механический импульс …

In an earlier paper we described the formation of an optodynamic wave as well as its
propagation and multiple reflections from both faces of an unclamped finite rod [1]. We …

Recently, we developed an optodynamic experimental technique that makes it possible to
measure the linear momentum obtained by a metal target sample in the shape of a rod …
