- Photonic_laser_thruster abstract "A photonic laser thruster (PLT) is an amplified laser thruster that generates thrust directly from the momentum of photons stimulated by a laser. Because of the amplification, the photonic laser thruster is at least 1,000 times more energy efficient than photonic thrusters based on conventional photonic propulsion, such as solar sails. Therefore, the photonic laser thruster can potentially revolutionize spacecraft maneuvering and space transportation. The photonic laser thruster was initially developed by Young Bae for use in nanometer precision spacecraft formation under a NASA program (NIAC, NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts) in 2006, for forming space telescopes and radars. However, in this research Bae discovered that photonic laser thruster was stable against movements of laser mirrors and proved that it can be used for main propulsion. Initial proposed uses include high-precision and high-speed maneuver of small spacecraft, such as formation flying, orbit adjustments, drag compensation. It can be used for beaming thrust from a conventional heavy \"tanker\" vehicle to a more expensive, lightweight mission vehicle, similar to aerial refueling. Recently in 2015 under another NASA program (NIAC, NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts), Y.K. Bae Corporation demonstrated propelling a spacecraft with a photonic laser thruster with a thrust of 3.5 mN first time in history. In this demonstration, the amplified laser power of the photonic laser thruster was greater than 500 kW, which was power by a 500 W laser. The practical usage of the photonic laser thruster for main space propulsion would require laser powers and overcoming technological challenges in achieving the laser power and fabricating the required optics. Photonic laser thrusters have a very high specific impulse, and can permit spacecraft to reach much higher speeds that approach a fraction of the light speed, than with conventional rockets, which are limited by the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation. If the photonic laser thruster is scalable for the use in such main space propulsion, multiple photonic laser thrusters can be used to construct a Photonic Railway that has been proposed as a potential permanent transport infrastructure for interplanetary or interstellar commutes, allowing the transport craft themselves to carry very little or no fuel.".
