Theoretical model for an improved radiation pressure micromotor
A simple modification to an existing radiation pressure micromotor design is modeled. The results indicate that inclining the top surfaces of the micromotor increases the rotation inducing torque by a factor of 2. The direction of rotation can be selected by resizing the radiating light beam’s minim...

| Zusammenfassung: | A simple modification to an existing radiation pressure micromotor design is modeled. The results indicate that inclining the top surfaces of the micromotor increases the rotation inducing torque by a factor of 2. The direction of rotation can be selected by resizing the radiating light beam’s minimum waist. |
