Hybridization of terahertz phonons and magnons in disparate and spatially-separated material specimens
Marcin Białek, Yanko Todorov, Kamil Stelmaszczyk +6
The interaction between light and matter in condensed matter excitations and electromagnetic resonators serves as a rich playground for fundamental research and lies at the core of…
Characterisation of the waveplate associated to layers in interferential mirrors
J. Agil, B. Letourneur, S. George +2
In this paper, first we present a review of experimental data corresponding to phase retardation per reflection of interferential mirrors. Then, we report our new measurements on b…
Monte Carlo study of the BMV vacuum linear magnetic birefringence experiment
Jonathan Agil, R. Battesti, C. Rizzo
QED vacuum can be polarized and magnetized by an external electromagnetic field, therefore acting as a birefringent medium. This effect has not yet been measured. In this paper, af…
Macroscopic Magneto-Chiroptical Metasurfaces
Gaia Petrucci, Alessio Gabbani, Esteban Pedrueza-Villalmanzo +4
Nanophotonic chiral antennas exhibit orders of magnitude higher circular dichroism (CD) compared to molecular systems. Merging magnetism and structural chirality at the nanometric…
The Photon Hall Pinwheel, Radiation of Angular Momentum by a Diffusing Magneto-optical Medium
Bart A. van Tiggelen, Geert L. J. A. Rikken
We consider an optically thick spherical agglomerate of magneto-optical scatterers with a central isotropic, unpolarized light source, placed in a homogeneous magnetic field. The P…
Limits on Non-Linear Electrodynamics
M Fouché, R Battesti, C Rizzo
In this paper we set a framework in which experiments whose goal is to test QED predictions can be used in a more general way to test non-linear electrodynamics (NLED) which contai…
Circular and linear magnetic birefringences in xenon at nm
Agathe Cadène, Mathilde Fouché, Alice Rivère +4
The circular and linear magnetic birefringences corresponding to the Faraday and the Cotton-Mouton effects, respectively, have been measured in xenon at nm. The experimen…
Faraday and Cotton-Mouton Effects of Helium at nm
Agathe Cadène, Delphine Sordes, Paul Berceau +3
We present measurements of the Faraday and the Cotton-Mouton effects of helium gas at \,nm. Our apparatus is based on an up-to-date resonant optical cavity coupled to long…
Vacuum magnetic linear birefringence using pulsed fields: the BMV experiment
A. Cadène, P. Berceau, M. Fouché +2
We present the current status of the BMV experiment. Our apparatus is based on an up-to-date resonant optical cavity coupled to a transverse magnetic field. We detail our data acqu…
Magnetic and electric properties of quantum vacuum
Rémy Battesti, Carlo Rizzo
In this report we show that vacuum is a nonlinear optical medium and we discuss what are the optical phenomena that should exist in the framework of the standard model of particle…
Negative experimental evidence for magneto-orbital dichroism - supplemental information
Renaud Mathevet, Bruno Viaris de Lesegno, Laurence Pruvost +1
A light beam can carry both spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). SAM is commonly evidenced by circular dichroism (CD) experiments {\em i. e.} differentia…
Observation of the intrinsic Abraham force in time-varying magnetic and electric fields
Geert L. J. A. Rikken, Bart Van Tiggelen
The Abraham force exerted by a time-dependent electromagnetic field on neutral, polarizable matter has two contributions. The one induced by a time-varying magnetic field and a sta…
Fizeau's "aether-drag" experiment in the undergraduate laboratory
Thierry Lahaye, Pierre Labastie, Renaud Mathevet
We describe a simple realization of Fizeau's "aether-drag" experiment. Using an inexpensive setup, we measure the phase shift induced by moving water in a laser interferometer and…
Magnetic Linear Birefringence Measurements Using Pulsed Fields
Paul Berceau, Mathilde Fouché, Remy Battesti +1
In this paper we present the realization of further steps towards the measurement of the magnetic birefringence of the vacuum using pulsed fields. After describing our experiment,…
Transverse Momentum Transfer in Atom-Light Scattering
Bart Van Tiggelen, Geert L. J. A. Rikken, Andreas Nussle
We predict a photon Hall effect in the optical cross-section of atomic hydrogen, which is caused by the interference between an electric quadrupole transition and an electric dipol…
Magneto-electric momentum transfer to atoms and molecules
G. L. J. A. Rikken, Bart Van Tiggelen
We report the first observation of mechanical momentum transferred to atoms and molecules upon application of crossed electric and magnetic fields. We identify this momentum as the…
Observation of the Inverse Cotton-Mouton Effect
Andrei Ben-Amar Baranga, Remy Battesti, Mathilde Fouché +2
We report the observation of the Inverse Cotton-Mouton Effect (ICME) i.e. a magnetization induced in a medium by non resonant linearly polarized light propagating in the presence o…
Dynamical behaviour of birefringent Fabry-Perot cavities
Paul Berceau, Mathilde Fouché, Remy Battesti +3
In this paper we present a theoretical and experimental study of the dynamical behaviour of birefringent cavities. Our experimental data show that usual hypothesis which provides t…
Status of the BMV experiment
Franck Bielsa, Remy Battesti, Mathilde Fouché +8
In this contribution we present the status of the BMV experiment whose goal is to measure the vacuum magnetic birefringence.
Birefringence of interferential mirrors at normal incidence Experimental and computational study
Franck Bielsa, Arnaud Dupays, Mathilde Fouché +3
In this paper we present a review of the existing data on interferential mirror birefringence. We also report new measurements of two sets of mirrors that confirm that mirror phase…
