Reply to "Comment on 'Theoretical analysis of the force on the end face of a nano-filament exerted by an outgoing light pulse'"

Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian

We respond to a Comment on our paper [Physical Review A 80, 023823 (2009)], which appears to have stemmed from a misunderstanding of the various energy-momentum tensors of classica…

Radiation pressure and the distribution of electromagnetic force in dielectric media (II)

Armis R. Zakharian, Masud Mansuripur, Jerome V. Moloney

Using the Finite-Difference-Time-Domain (FDTD) method, we compute the electromagnetic field distribution in and around dielectric media of various shapes and optical properties. Wi…

Radiation pressure on a dielectric wedge

Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian, Jerome V. Moloney

The force of electromagnetic radiation on a dielectric medium may be derived by a direct application of the Lorentz law of classical electrodynamics. While the light's electric fie…

Maxwell's macroscopic equations, the energy-momentum postulates, and the Lorentz law of force

Masud Mansuripur, Armis R. Zakharian

We argue that the classical theory of electromagnetism is based on Maxwell's macroscopic equations, an energy postulate, a momentum postulate, and a generalized form of the Lorentz…

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…

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…
