论文摘要
脉冲激光消融推进力有可能通过消除航天器的要求将其推进剂和动力源作为高功率激光器的要求，从而彻底改变空间探索。需要进行更多的实验来优化该推进系统并了解推力产生的机制。有许多方法用于计算脉冲激光消融实验中施加的脉冲。在本文中，对于消融推进实验中使用的某些脉冲测量方法，得出了关键性能参数。讨论的机制包括扭转的摆系统，简单的摆系统以及固体和液体微球。
Pulsed laser ablation propulsion has the potential to revolutionize space exploration by eliminating the requirement of a spacecraft to carry its propellant and power source as the high-power laser is situated off-board. More experimentation needs to be done to optimize this propulsion system and understand the mechanisms of thrust generation. There are many methods used to calculate the impulse imparted in pulsed laser ablation experiments. In this paper, key performance parameters are derived for some of the impulse measurement methods used in ablation propulsion experiments. Regimes discussed include the torsional pendulum system, simple pendulum system, and solid and liquid microspheres.
