Photonic Propulsion and Fusion Work at Bae Institute
Young K. Bae demonstrated pure photonic propulsion by bouncing 10 Watt lasers between mirrors a few thousand times and generate 35 micronewtons of force. Details on the photonic laser thruster demonstration. Photonic Laser Thruster (PLT) is an innovative photon thruster that amplifies photon thrust by orders of magnitude by exploiting an active resonant optical cavity …
