The laser-driven in-tube accelerator (LITA) is a unique device for laser propulsion. It is characterized by the acceleration of a projectile in a tube. The thrust performance can be improved by exploiting a confinement effect. In the experiment, a 3.0-g projectile is vertically launched, and the momentum coupling coefficient is measured for various monoatomic gases. The measured coupling coefficient is almost proportional to the reciprocal of the speed of sound. The same impulse generation characteristics are obtained in simplified situations that are analyzed based on conservation relations.
