(Phys.org) —A team of physicists working at the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg in Germany has built a working optical diametric drive. In their paper published in Nature Physics, the team describes how they built a two-loop structure that because one loop is longer than the other, works to create an effective mass resulting in a demonstrable optical diametric drive.
