Influence of gravitational waves upon light in the Minkowski background: from null geodesics to interferometry
João C. Lobato, Isabela S. Matos, Lucas T. Santana +2
We have recently derived a manifestly covariant evolution law, under the geometrical optics approximation of the vacuum Maxwell's equations, for the electric field along null geode…
Influence of gravitational waves upon light. Part II. Electric field propagation and interference pattern in a gravitational wave detector
João C. Lobato, Isabela S. Matos, Lucas T. Santana +2
In this second article of the series, we apply our recently derived equation for the electric field propagation along light rays [arXiv:2004.03496], valid on the electromagnetic ge…
Influence of gravitational waves upon light. Part I. Null geodesics, radar distance and frequency shift
João C. Lobato, Isabela S. Matos, Lucas T. Santana +2
We explore different facets of the action of linearized gravitational waves in Minkowski spacetime background upon light, under the electromagnetic geometrical optics limit, coveri…
Evolution of the electric field along null rays for arbitrary observers and spacetimes
Lucas T. Santana, João C. Lobato, Isabela S. Matos +2
We derive, in a manifestly covariant and electromagnetic gauge independent way, the evolution law of the electric field , relative to an arbitrary set of inst…
How does light move in a generic metric-affine background?
Lucas T. Santana, Maurício O. Calvão, Ribamar R. R. Reis +1
Light is the richest information retriever for most physical systems, particularly so for astronomy and cosmology, in which gravitation is of paramount importance, and also for sol…
