Direct Terrestrial Test of Lorentz Symmetry in Electrodynamics to 10

M. Nagel, S. R. Parker, E. V. Kovalchuk +5

Lorentz symmetry is a foundational property of modern physics, underlying the standard model of particles and general relativity. It is anticipated that these two theories are low…

Ultra-stable cryogenic optical resonators for tests of fundamental physics

M. Nagel, K. Möhle, K. Döringshoff +3

We present the design and first measurement results for an ultra-stable cryogenically cooled optical sapphire resonator system with a potential relative frequency stability better…

Highly stable piezoelectrically tunable optical cavities

Katharina Möhle, Evgeny V. Kovalchuk, Klaus Döringshoff +2

We have implemented highly stable and tunable frequency references using optical high finesse cavities which incorporate a piezo actuator. As piezo material we used ceramic PZT, cr…

Electromagnetic cavity tests of Lorentz invariance on Earth and in space

M. Nagel, K. Möhle, K. Döringshoff +2

We present a Michelson-Morley type experiment for testing the isotropy of the speed of light in vacuum and matter. The experiment compares the resonance frequency of an actively ro…

Towards an ultra-stable optical sapphire cavity system for testing Lorentz invariance

M. Nagel, A. Peters

We present a design for an ultra-stable cryogenically cooled sapphire optical cavity system, with fractional frequency stability better than 1 x 10^-16 at one second integration ti…

Testing Lorentz Invariance by Comparing Light Propagation in Vacuum and Matter

M. Nagel, K. Möhle, K. Döringshoff +4

We present a Michelson-Morley type experiment for testing the isotropy of the speed of light in vacuum and matter. The experiment compares the resonance frequency of a monolithic o…
