Exact results on analogue gravity in optical Plebanski-Tamm media
arXiv:2108.12049 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.124009
Abstract
Exact results concerning ray-tracing methods in Plebanski-Tamm media are derived. In particular, Hamilton equations describing the propagation of quasi-plane wave electromagnetic fields in the geometrical optics regime are explicitly written down in terms of the 3-metric representing the properties of the optical analogue, anisotropic medium. We exemplify our results by obtaining the trajectories of light in the resulting analogue medium recreating Gödel's universe.
