Relativistic corrections to the Sellmeier equation allow derivation of Demjanov's formula

Abstract

A recent paper by V.V. Demjanov in Physics Letters A reported a formula that relates the magnitude of Michelson interferometer fringe shifts to refractive index and absolute velocity. We show here that relativistic corrections to the Sellmeier equation allow an alternative derivation of the formula.
