Pulse laser propulsion (PLP) is an advanced propulsion concept can be used across a
variety of fields with a wide range of applications. PLP reflects superior payload as well as …

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 …

A Nd: YAG laser with 7-ns pulses and pulse energies up to 10 mJ is used to induce an
optical breakdown in the front surface of an aluminum rod, covered by a water layer. The rod …

In contrast to current efforts to quantify the radiation pressure of light using nano-
micromechanical resonators in cryogenic conditions, we proposed and experimentally …

The present work introduces a laser pulse micro-propulsion system for microsphere
propulsion and uses the micro-propulsion system to investigate the propulsion mechanism …

We investigate the thermoelastic waves launched by a localized heat deposition. Pulsed
laser excitation is used to generate mechanical perturbations in metals that are detected …

This paper proposes a novel “micro-gun” structure for laser pulse propulsion. The “micro-
bullets”(glass microspheres) are irradiated by a laser pulse with a 10 ns duration in a …

In the study of ultrasound propagation in matter, displacement sensors are indispensable
and of these, the most sensitive are piezoelectric sensors. In order to eliminate the intrinsic …

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

Ultrasound modeling, being an established practice, is used to study the fundamentals of
light-matter interactions. Although much has been published on the matter, pressure and …
