Measurements of Radiation Pressure owing to the Grating Momentum
Ying-Ju Lucy Chu, Eric M. Jansson, Grover A. Swartzlander
The force from radiation pressure owing to the grating momentum was measured for a thin transmissive fused silica grating near the Littrow angles at wavelengths of 808 nm and 447 n…
