Figure 4
(a) Is a plot of the anomalous reflection force (dashed), and net force (bold green) for the lateral components of the solar sail at different phase gradients. (b) Is the same, but for the normal components. (c) Is the optimal angle that produces the largest magnitude net force for both lateral (black) and normal (red) cases as a function of the phase gradient. All plots have the parameter, ηanom = 0.75.
