Chiral-stress-energy-momentum tensor for covariant description of spin and torque densities of light
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
The measurement of the spin angular momentum of circularly polarized light by Beth [Phys. Rev. 50, 115 (1936)] can be explained by using a microscopic torque density. However, the…
Time-dependent theory of optical electro- and magnetostriction
Mikko Partanen, Bruno Anghinoni, Nelson G. C. Astrath +1
Electrostriction, the deformation of dielectric materials under the influence of an electric field, is of continuous interest in optics. The classic experiment by Hakim and Higham…
Time-dependent optical force theory for optomechanics of dispersive 3D photonic materials and devices
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
We present a position- and time-dependent optical force theory for optomechanics of dispersive 3D photonic materials and devices. The theory applies to media including material int…
Negative radiation pressure in metamaterials explained by light-driven atomic mass density rarefication waves
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
The momentum and radiation pressure of light in negative-index metamaterials (NIMs) are commonly expected to reverse their direction from what is observed for normal materials. The…
Covariant theory of light in a dispersive medium
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
The relativistic theory of the time- and position-dependent energy and momentum densities of light in glasses and other low-loss dispersive media, where different wavelengths of li…
Comment on "Analysis of recent interpretations of the Abraham-Minkowski problem"
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
In a recent paper [I. Brevik, Phys. Rev. A 98, 043847 (2018)], Brevik analyzed the experiment by Kundu et al. [A. Kundu et al., Sci. Rep. 7, 42538 (2017)] reporting deformation of…
