“…The force will be in a direction opposite to the Poynting vector for this probe wave. To evaluate the significance of the negative plane wave force in media with gain, we compared the expected positive force for a metal, which has been measured [28], with the estimated negative force in an excited quantum dot medium [4]. A negative force on a material exhibiting gain can be considered a collective result of the stimulated emission from each atom, where the atomic recoil is in the direction opposite to that of the emitted photons [29].…”

“…At the University of Moscow, Peter Lebedew succeeded in isolating radiation pressure using a series of torsion balance experiments (Lebedew, 1902). Nichols and Hull at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, obtained independent verification in 1901 (Nichols & Hull, 1901, 1903. Around this period a number of science fiction authors wrote of spaceships propelled by mirrors, notably the French authors Faure and Graffigny in 1889.…”

“…Em 1901 foi testada experimentalmente a existência de uma pressão da luz em espelhos, que havia sido prevista teoricamente por Maxwell em 1873. O resultado positivo obtido por Pyotr Lebedew (1866Lebedew ( -1912 e por Ernest Fox Nichols (1869-1924) e Gordon Ferrie Hull (1870-1956), não constituiu nenhuma surpresa, pois havia forte confiança na previsão [52], [53] e [54] 16 . Na verdade, esse efeito nem mesmoé uma propriedade específica das ondas eletromagnéticas.…”
