The authors introduce the fundamental concepts of the forces exerted by electromagnetic radiation. They explain how mirror can be moved, or "trapped," using light. These mirrors oscillate and can resonate at different frequencies and the radiation forces can be measured from this frequency over a time lag. They conclude their thesis by explaining practical applications of this technology and setting goals for being able to harness this technology. This work is a combination of over fifty outside refences as well as original experimentation and observations from the authors. This information is particularly interesting about how radiation forces could be applied at quantum levels of physics applications, extending into integrated photonic circuits, switching, and semiconductor chips.
