The DeLLight experiment to observe an optically-induced change of the vacuum index
Scott Robertson, Aurélie Mailliet, Xavier Sarazin +7
Quantum electrodynamics predicts that the vacuum must behave as a nonlinear optical medium: the speed of light should be modified when the vacuum is stressed by intense electromagn…
Refraction of light by light in vacuum
X. Sarazin, F. Couchot, A. Djannati-Atai +4
In very intense electromagnetic fields, the vacuum refractive index is expected to be modified due to nonlinear quantum electrodynamics (QED) properties. Several experimental tests…
Ramsauer approach to Mie scattering of light on spherical particles
K. Louedec, S. Dagoret-Campagne, M. Urban
The scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave by a spherical particle was solved analytically by Gustav Mie in 1908. The Mie solution is expressed as a series with very many term…
A particle mechanism for the index of refraction
Marcel Urban
We propose to go away from the electromagnetic wave description of light and to explain through a purely corpuscular and neutral approach, the phenomenon of the slowing down of lig…
