what can they achieve with this sort of power?
quote from wikipedia
"Over one day, the spacecraft's speed would reach 45 m/s (100 mph); in 100 days its speed would be 4,500 m/s (10,000 mph), in 2.74 years 45,000 m/s (100,000 mph)."
but i thought this technology was in use already. apparently its still being tested.

yep. Newton's second law: . For a constant mass, and constant Force, there is a rate of change in velocity, and since space is almost frictionless, it will go faster and faster.

ya but the hard part is getting that positive velocity rate of change or acceleration unless you have a system that absorbs more and more of something like photons hitting your ship in the rear

Maybe install a sensor that detects which direction the most photons are coming from and align the photon collector to be normal to that direction. There is no reason why this thing will need to have a straight trajectory.
