Charge separation mediated by linearly-polarized light in transparent insulators is analyzed
numerically by integrating the equations of motion of a bound charge. It is shown that large static
and transient dipole moments can be induced by the magnetic component of light at nonrelativistic
intensities regardless of whether the pumplight is coherent or incoherent. Quantitative estimates
show that efficient conversion of optical beams to electrical power is possible in lossless dielectric
media and that THz radiation can be generated in unbiased materials through the use of transverse
optical magnetism. [/font][/size][/font][/size]VC 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3561505]

This paper may or may not be partly usefull in understanding or varifing the posibiilty of Tesla's radiant energy collector using a plate like a solar panel if a polish was applied to the plate which acted as a clear dilectric insulator.[/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size]
