Abstract :
Optical motors were operated to demonstrate efficient energy transportation for mechanical use at a remote point, via optical waves. The laser beam showed that it can produce the same amount of mechanical power at a level of ¿30 dB over a distance 20¿70 times greater than a focused collimated white-light beam.
