Abstract

The photonic levitation and propulsion of free-standing nanostructured objects is yet to be experimentally demonstrated. These structures have applications ranging from nanosatellites to exploration of deep space far beyond the solar system. The applications of self-stabilizing metasurfaces lie in regimes of pressure that are significantly lower than the pressure found on the surface of Earth. This project further investigates the dynamics of self-stabilizing objects under pressure variations of several orders of magnitude through the design and implementation of a variable pressure vacuum system.
