1. Radiation pressure: normal stresses at interfaces

1.1 Fundamental aspects: momentum conservation at the interface

To describe the origin of optical radiation pressure, we generally consider the propagation of a light wave through two transparent dielectric media with different refractive indices ni,t , separated by an interface; the indices i and t refer to incidence and transmission,...
