Non--Newtonian gravity and coherence properties of light
arXiv:gr-qc/0107057 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(01)00496-0
Abstract
In this work the possibility of detecting a non--Newtonian contribution to the gravitational potential by means of its effects upon the first and second--order coherence properties of light is analyzed. It will be proved that, in principle, the effects of a fifth force upon the correlation functions of electromagnetic radiation could be used to detect the existence of new forces. Some constraints upon the experimental parameters will also be deduced.
