Angular Momentum Exchange Between Light and Material Media Deduced from the Doppler Shift
Masud Mansuripur
Electromagnetic waves carry energy as well as linear and angular momenta. When a light pulse is reflected from, transmitted through, or absorbed by a material medium, energy and mo…
Radiation Pressure and Photon Momentum in Negative-Index Media
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian
Radiation pressure and photon momentum in negative-index media are no different than their counterparts in ordinary (positive-index) materials. This is because the parameters respo…
Radiation pressure and the linear momentum of the electromagnetic field
Masud Mansuripur
We derive the force of the electromagnetic radiation on material objects by a direct application of the Lorentz law of classical electro-dynamics. The derivation is straightforward…
Electromagnetic force distribution inside matter
Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian, Ewan M. Wright
Using the Finite Difference Time Domain method, we solve Maxwell's equations numerically and compute the distribution of electromagnetic fields and forces inside material media. Th…
Fresnel reflection from a cavity with net roundtrip gain
Tobias S. Mansuripur, Masud Mansuripur
A planewave incident on an active etalon with net roundtrip gain may be expected to diverge in field amplitude, yet Maxwell's equations admit only a convergent solution. By examini…
