Analytical Expressions for Levitation of Atmospheric Drops Under the Influence of a Laser Impulse and Interrupt Time Periods

Abstract

The derivation of the force expressions obtained for a particle is dependent on the shape of the particle and the shape of the radiating beam. In our derivation we consider only spherical particles located in a Gaussian beam profile. This choice will enable us to compare numerical results with previously published experimental results of others. Here the expressions for the 3rd transmitted and reflected rays are presented. Finally, the velocity of a drop of liquid in a flow of air and gas under the influence of a laser beam was found. An analytical expression for laser impulse and interrupt time periods is presented.
