Ultrafast Resonant Polarization Interferometry: Towards the First Direct Detection of Vacuum Polarization
Andre N. Luiten, Jesse C. Petersen
Vacuum polarization, an effect predicted nearly 70 years ago, is still yet to be directly detected despite significant experimental effort. Previous attempts have made use of large…

Detection of Vacuum Birefringence with Intense Laser Pulses
Andre N. Luiten, Jesse C. Petersen
We propose a novel technique that promises hope of being the first to directly detect a polarization in the quantum electrodynamic (QED) vacuum. The technique is based upon the use…
