Simulating the electrostatic patch force in experimental geometries
Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Laure Mercier de Lépinay
Potential patches are responsible for a force between closely-spaced objects that forms a parasitic contribution to sensitive force measurements. Existing analytical models cannot…
Long-range optomechanical interactions in SiN membrane arrays
Xiong Yao, Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Jie Li +1
Optomechanical systems using a membrane-in-the-middle configuration can exhibit a long-range type of interaction similar to how atoms show collective motion in an optical potential…
Pentagonal Photonic Crystal Mirrors: Scalable Lightsails with Enhanced Acceleration via Neural Topology Optimization
L. Norder, S. Yin, M. J. de Jong +5
The Starshot Breakthrough Initiative aims to send one-gram microchip probes to Alpha Centauri within 20 years, using gram-scale lightsails propelled by laser-based radiation pressu…
