太阳帆、光镊和其他光驱动机器

Solar Sails, Optical Tweezers, and Other Light-Driven Machines

Masud Mansuripur

摘要:

电磁波携带能量、线动量和角动量。当光(或其他电磁辐射)与物质介质相互作用时,通常会交换能量和动量。材料主体在其与电磁场的相互作用中所经受的力和扭矩使得整个系统的能量以及线动量和角动量(即,场加物质的系统)是守恒的。辐射力现在被常规地用于捕获和操纵小物体,如玻璃或塑料微珠和生物细胞,驱动微型和纳米机器,并考虑在太阳帆的帮助下进行星际旅行。我们讨论的电磁场的属性,使这种广泛的应用。

英文摘要:

Electromagnetic waves carry energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum. When light (or other electromagnetic radiation) interacts with material media, both energy and momentum are usually exchanged. The force and torque experienced by material bodies in their interactions with the electromagnetic field are such that the energy as well as the linear and angular momenta of the overall system (i.e., the system of field plus matter) are conserved. Radiation forces are now used routinely to trap and manipulate small objects such as glass or plastic micro-beads and biological cells, to drive micro- and nano-machines, and to contemplate interstellar travel with the aid of solar sails. We discuss the properties of the electromagnetic field that enable such wide-ranging applications.
