Abstract

See full text

In one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for communicating radiation pressure provided by a light wave. The method entails positioning a reflective prism (606, 607) having a near total reflective surface, including an initial transparent surface (614A, 614B) and a pair of reflective surfaces (612) each positioned at an angle relative to the initial transparent surface. Then, a light wave is directed toward the reflective prism, such that the light wave is generally normal to the transparent surface and passes therethrough. The light wave further reflects from the first and then the second reflective surface and exits the prism through the transparent surface. In this way, radiation pressure communicated by the relecting light wave acts on the prism.
