Radiation-pressure-induced non-Hermitian skin effect in elastic membranes
Jadon Y. Lin, C. Martijn de Sterke, Boris T. Kuhlmey
We show that optical forces perpendicular to the direction of the incident light, generated on structures with asymmetric optical scattering, can manipulate longitudinal elastic wa…

Lightsails are a promising spacecraft concept that can reach relativistic speeds via propulsion by laser light, allowing travel to nearby stars within a human lifetime. The success…
Poynting-Robertson damping of laser beam driven lightsails
Rhys Mackintosh, Jadon Y. Lin, Michael S. Wheatland +1
Lightsails using Earth-based lasers for propulsion require passive stabilization to stay within the beam. This can be achieved through the sail's scattering properties, creating op…
