Self-referencing photothermal common-path interferometry to measure absorption of Si3N4 membranes for laser-light sails
Tanuj Kumar, Demeng Feng, Shenwei Yin +12
Laser-light sails are a spacecraft concept wherein lightweight "sails" are propelled by high-intensity lasers. We investigated the near-infrared absorption of free-standing membran…
