Isolated detection of elastic waves driven by the momentum of light

The exact mechanism of momentum conversion from light to an object has varied descriptions in the literature and experimental verifications are difficult. Here the authors do an in-depth experimental and numerical study of the momentum dynamics of elastic waves in a dielectric mirror hit by a pulsed...

Sumario:The exact mechanism of momentum conversion from light to an object has varied descriptions in the literature and experimental verifications are difficult. Here the authors do an in-depth experimental and numerical study of the momentum dynamics of elastic waves in a dielectric mirror hit by a pulsed laser beam.
