The most commonly observed quantity related to light is its power or, equivalently, its
energy. It can be either measured with a bolometer, a photodiode, or estimated with the …

Recent years have witnessed a number of beautiful experiments in radiation optics. Our
purpose with this paper is to highlight some developments of radiation pressure physics in …

A discussion is given on the interpretation and physical importance of the Minkowski
momentum in macroscopic electrodynamics (essential for the Abraham–Minkowski …

We present a position-and time-dependent optical force theory for optomechanics of
dispersive 3D photonic materials and devices. The theory applies to media including …

We demonstrate modeling of the field-kinetic and material response subsystem for various
media and extend the models to dispersive negative index metamaterials. It is shown that …

We theoretically demonstrate the reversal of optical forces on free charge carriers in positive
refractive index nanostructures. Though optical momentum in positive refractive index …

In my present view, the Abraham-Minkowski debate is about how an electromechanical
system can be partitioned into “electromagnetic” and “mechanical” subsystems. A view not …

In practice of fluid velocity measurement by using laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), the
applied expression of Doppler frequency shift (EDFS) abruptly relates to an unusual …

An important issue in phenomenological macroscopic electrodynamics of moving media is
the definition of the energy and momentum of the electromagnetic field in matter. Rather …

From the energy-momentum tensors of the electromagnetic field and the mechanical energy-
momentum, the equations of energy conservation and balance of electromagnetic and …
