Performance of a Sagnac interferometer to observe vacuum optical nonlinearity
Aurélie Max Mailliet, Adrien E. Kraych, François Couchot +8
In Quantum Electrodynamics, vacuum becomes a nonlinear optical medium: its optical index should be modified in the presence of intense external electromagnetic fields. The DeLLight…
Interferometric measurement of the deflection of light by light in air
Adrien E. Kraych, Aurélie Max Mailliet, François Couchot +8
The aim of the DeLLight (Deflection of Light by Light) experiment is to observe for the first time the optical nonlinearity in vacuum, as predicted by Quantum Electrodynamics, by m…
Can the apparent expansion of the Universe be attributed to an increasing vacuum refractive index ?
X. Sarazin, F. Couchot, A. Djannati-Atai +1
H.A. Wilson, then R.H. Dicke, proposed to describe gravitation by a spatial change of the refractive index of the vacuum around a gravitational mass. Dicke extended this formalism…
A mechanism giving a finite value to the speed of light, and some experimental consequences
M. Urban, F. Couchot, X. Sarazin
We admit that the vacuum is not empty but is filled with continuously appearing and disappearing virtual fermion pairs. We show that if we simply model the propagation of the photo…
