Wave drag in moving plasmas: recent developments and prospects
Renaud Gueroult, Aymeric Braud, Julien Langlois
Wave propagation in a medium differs depending on whether this medium is at rest or moving with respect to an observer. Motion can notably lead to modifications of the wave traject…
Spin-redirection Berry phase with planar rays
Aymeric Braud, Renaud Gueroult
Geometric or Berry phases are fundamental manifestations that appear in many areas of physics. They arise from the geometry of the space describing the properties of multi-componen…
Light drag in nonuniformly moving anisotropic media through the lens of gradient-index optics
Julien Langlois, Renaud Gueroult
The trajectory of light rays propagating through a nonuniformly moving anisotropic medium is determined by considering the Fresnel drag experienced by the wave at each point along…
Image rotation in plasmas
Renaud Gueroult, Shreekrishna K. Tripathi, Jia Han +3
Because of the speed of light compared to material motion, the dragging of light is difficult to observe under laboratory conditions. Here we report on the first observation of ima…
Spin-orbit interactions induced by light drag in moving media
Aymeric Braud, Renaud Gueroult
Spin-orbit interactions (SOIs) of light are manifestations of coupling between components of light's angular momentum. They are at play in most basic optical processes, offering op…
