Radiation Pressure on a Transmissive Diffraction Grating

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Diffraction gratings afford advantages over reflectives for solar sailing and other applications. We constructed a torsion pendulum to demonstrate radiation pressure on transmissive Littrow grating. A significant force was observed tangential to the grating surface.
