Rotation of polarization in the gravitational field of a laser beam - Faraday effect and optical activity
Fabienne Schneiter, Dennis Rätzel, Daniel Braun
We investigate the rotation of the polarization of a light ray propagating in the gravitational field of a circularly polarized laser beam. The rotation consists of a reciprocal pa…
The gravitational field of a laser beam beyond the short wavelength approximation
Fabienne Schneiter, Dennis Rätzel, Daniel Braun
Light carries energy, and therefore, it is the source of a gravitational field. The gravitational field of a beam of light in the short wavelength approximation has been studied by…
Frequency spectrum of an optical resonator in a curved spacetime
Dennis Rätzel, Fabienne Schneiter, Daniel Braun +4
The effect of gravity and proper acceleration on the frequency spectrum of an optical resonator - both rigid or deformable - is considered in the framework of general relativity. T…
