Abstract
For the first time a light pressure in the range of 405 - 1560 nm was measured. The mechanical displacements of a pellicle under the light pressure were detected by using a dynamic holographic interferometer based on the principle of two-wave mixing technique. The achieved sensitivity of the interferometer allowed us the detection of light pressure of the striking light intensity down to 1-2 mW / mm2 in the frequency range of 5 Hz -30 kHz. No wavelength dependence of the light pressure in the investigated spectral band have been observed that is in accordance with Maxwell’s theory.
