Variational treatment of the electromagnetic field in an optical cavity with a moving mirror
Francesco Lorenzi, Maria Guglielmina Pelizzo, Luca Salasnich
Optical cavities with moving mirrors provide a versatile platform for exploring radiation-matter interactions and optically mediated mechanical effects, whose control has wide tech…
Optical Cavity in Relativistic Regime for Laser Propulsion
Francesco Lorenzi, Luca Salasnich, Maria Guglielmina Pelizzo
Laser propulsion has been proposed for relativistic interstellar flights, but it faces the significant challenge of requiring extremely powerful laser radiation due to the inherent…
Only-phase Popov action: thermodynamic derivation and superconducting electrodynamics
Luca Salasnich, Maria Guglielmina Pelizzo, Francesco Lorenzi
We provide a thermodynamic derivation of the only-phase Popov action functional, which is often adopted to study the low-energy effective hydrodynamics of a generic nonrelativistic…
Coronal Heating Rate in the Slow Solar Wind
Daniele Telloni, Marco Romoli, Marco Velli +59
This Letter reports the first observational estimate of the heating rate in the slowly expanding solar corona. The analysis exploits the simultaneous remote and local observations…
FLYEYE family tree, from smart fast cameras to MezzoCielo
Roberto Ragazzoni, Silvio Di Rosa, Carmelo Arcidiacono +8
We developed game-changing concepts for meter(s) class very-wide-field telescopes, spanning three orders of magnitude of the covered field of view. Multiple cameras and monocentric…
Swarm of lightsail nanosatellites for Solar System exploration
Giovanni Santi, Alain J. Corso, Denis Garoli +13
This paper presents a study for the realization of a space mission which employs nanosatellites driven by an external laser source impinging on an optimized lightsail, as a valuabl…
