Abstract
The first fabrication and optical characterization of asymmetric nanostructures for plasmonic space propulsion was achieved. The resonant wavelengths between experimental results and numerical simulations were in agreement with an error of 2.6%. This accomplishment improved the feasibility of using a micropropulsion device that operates solely off of visible solar irradiation. Finally, we see that the transmittance spectra of the numerical simulation and the experimental characterization agree in shape over the entire spectrum, even offresonance, in spite of the large difference in transmittance.
