Keeping in view the weightage of electric propulsion over chemical propulsion, materials from metals to polymers and liquid (water) have been tested as propellants in ablative laser propulsion. This emerging propulsion technique can be widely used for aerospace applications like debris removal in the range of cm, pointing micro and nano satellites, laser micro thrusters for spacecraft attitude, and orbit control. Laser propulsion can become a less expensive alternative to chemical propulsion. In this review, we compile the work done in ablative laser propulsion and different modes of propulsion along with the efficiency of different propellants. We summarize the optimized propulsive parameters with solid propellants and liquid propellants along with the efficiencies and theories of laser thrusters with optimized specific impulses. The article provides precise developments done in the field of ablative laser propulsion and deep insights into the analysis done between the different propellants used recently in ablative laser propulsion.

“…So far, studies on the interaction of pulsed lasers with liquid propellants have been reported in a large number of studies in the literature [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. The interaction between the laser pulse-induced plasma (or shock wave) and the material is the physical mechanism for the performance of pulsed laser ablation [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 34 ].…”

The transmissive mode laser micro-ablation performance of near-infrared (NIR) dye-optimized ammonium dinitramide (ADN)-based liquid propellant was investigated in laser plasma propulsion using a pulse YAG laser with 5 ns pulse width and 1064 nm wavelength. Miniature fiber optic near-infrared spectrometer, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and high-speed camera were used to study laser energy deposition, thermal analysis of ADN-based liquid propellants and the flow field evolution process, respectively. Experimental results indicate that two important factors, laser energy deposition efficiency and heat release from energetic liquid propellants, obviously affect the ablation performance. The results showed that the best ablation effect of 0.4 mL ADN solution dissolved in 0.6 mL dye solution (40%-AAD) liquid propellant was obtained with the ADN liquid propellant content increasing in the combustion chamber. Furthermore, adding 2% ammonium perchlorate (AP) solid powder gave rise to variations in the ablation volume and energetic properties of propellants, which enhanced the propellant enthalpy variable and burn rate. Based on the AP optimized laser ablation, the optimal single-pulse impulse (I)~9.8 μN·s, specific impulse (Isp)~234.9 s, impulse coupling coefficient (Cm)~62.43 dyne/W and energy factor (η)~71.2% were obtained in 200 µm scale combustion chamber. This work would enable further improvements in the small volume and high integration of liquid propellant laser micro-thruster.
