Geometrical approach to light in inhomogeneous media
Paul Piwnicki
Electromagnetism in an inhomogeneous dielectric medium at rest is described using the methods of differential geometry. In contrast to a general relativistic approach the electroma…
Slow light in moving media
U. Leonhardt, P. Piwnicki
We review the theory of light propagation in moving media with extremely low group velocity. We intend to clarify the most elementary features of monochromatic slow light in a movi…
Ultrahigh sensitivity of slow-light gyroscope
U. Leonhardt, P. Piwnicki
Slow light generated by Electromagnetically Induced Transparency is extremely susceptible with respect to Doppler detuning. Consequently, slow-light gyroscopes should have ultrahig…
U. Leonhardt and P. Piwnicki reply to the ``Comment on `Relativistic Effects of Light in Moving Media with Extremely Low Group Velocity ' '' by M. Visser
U. Leonhardt, P. Piwnicki
Leonhardt and Piwnicki reply to Visser's ``Comment on `Relativistic Effects of Light in Moving Media with Extremely Low Group Velocity' ''.
Optics of Nonuniformly Moving Media
U. Leonhardt, P. Piwnicki
A moving dielectric appears to light as an effective gravitational field. At low flow velocities the dielectric acts on light in the same way as a magnetic field acts on a charged…
Relativistic Effects of Light in Moving Media with Extremely Low Group Velocity
U. Leonhardt, P. Piwnicki
A moving dielectric medium acts as an effective gravitational field on light. One can use media with extremely low group velocities [Lene Vestergaard Hau et al., Nature 397, 594 (1…
