Photonic Laser Propulsion

Inhalt

Photonic Laser Propulsion offers a thrilling glimpse into the future of sustainable space travel by surveying one of the most significant breakthrough technologies to overcome the limitations of current propulsion systems based on conventional rocketry.

Written by the pioneer of PLP, the book strives to establish a strong foundational understanding while delving into advanced theoretical concepts. Readers are guided through quantum mechanics, optical resonators, and radiation pressure that underpin this revolutionary thrust mechanism, to then be offered past experimental milestones and cutting-edge demonstrations that trace its evolution and validate its feasibility. A presentation of current application examples as well as long-term development pathways for interstellar commutes conclude the excursus, fostering curiosity and charting a course for further research exploration in this dynamic realm.

Researchers both in academia and industry and a host of other technical audiences at all levels will think of this volume, which consolidates a growing body of knowledge surrounding PLP, as a key resource for their study or work to enable innovative space endeavors, including human civilization's expansion within our solar system or interstellar travel.
