Optics of spin-1 particles from gravity-induced phases
arXiv:0711.2960 · doi:10.1142/S0218271809014595
Abstract
The Maxwell and Maxwell-de Rham equations can be solved exactly to first order in an external gravitational field. The gravitational background induces phases in the wave functions of spin-1 particles. These phases yield the optics of the particles without requiring any thin lens approximation.
