AbstractThis work presents TSMTR-V4, a hybrid toroidal resonator architecture integrating bio-photonic nano-lens elements inside the internal scattering tunnel to enhance mode confinement, photon lifetime, and directional output extraction. This version introduces a Diatom-Based Photon Conditioning Layer (DPCL) placed along the micro-tunnel (“grieta”), enabling micro-scale focusing, reduced divergence, and improved photon transfer toward the Controlled Coupling Interface (CCI).The architecture preserves the core principles of the TSMTR series: Controlled Output Loss (κout) for thrust-relevant photon extraction. Parasitic Scattering Harvesting via a geometry-guided micro-recirculation channel. Loss Engineering to increase effective photon lifetime (τeff) and quality factor (Qeff ≥ 10⁷). TSMTR-V4 incorporates biological nano-lenses (derived from naturally occurring diatom frustules) to create a photon pipeline inside the micro-tunnel, improving beam conditioning and enabling more efficient reinjection or extraction depending on the operating mode. InnovationThe biological nano-lenses provide:– Local micro-focusing– Reduced divergence inside the tunnel– Increased intracavity path length– Enhanced recirculation efficiency– Improved directional output coupling Applications– Photonic propulsion (PLED-Drive / Beamed Momentum Systems)– High-Q micro-resonators– Optical recycling systems– Bio-inspired micro-photonic engineering This document provides the conceptual architecture, system modeling foundations, diagrams, and the proposed experimental pathway.

This dataset/document describes a conceptual architecture for extending photon lifetime in high-Q optical resonators using intetal loss-engineering and photonic recycling techniques, and its potential application to photonic propulsion.
