Detection of the Abraham force with a succession of short optical pulses
Iver Brevik, Simen Å. Ellingsen
For over a century, two rival descriptions of electromagnetic field momentum in matter have co-existed, due to Abraham and Minkowski, respectively. We propose a set-up for measurin…
Electrostrictive counter-force on fluid microdroplet in short laser pulse
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik
When a micrometer-sized fluid droplet is illuminated by a laser pulse, there is a fundamental distinction between two cases. If the pulse is short in comparison with the transit ti…
Electromagnetic Momentum Conservation in media
Iver Brevik, Simen Å. Ellingsen
That static electric and magnetic fields can store momentum may be perplexing, but is necessary to ensure total conservation of momentum. Simple situations in which such field mome…
On the Possibility of Measuring the Abraham Force using Whispering Gallery Modes
I. Brevik, S. Å. Ellingsen
Critical experimental tests of the time-dependent Abraham force in phenomenological electrodynamics are scarce. In this paper we analyze the possibility of making use of intensity-…
Transverse radiation force in a tailored optical fiber
Iver Brevik, Simen Å. Ellingsen
We show, by means of simple model calculations, how a weak laser beam sent through an optical fiber exerts a transverse radiation force if there is an azimuthal asymmetry present i…
