Abstract
We discuss the coupling of photon spin with rotation in connection with a recent proposal of Fedderke et al. [M. A. Fedderke, R. Harnik, D. E. Kaplan, S. Posen, S. Rajendran, F. Serra, and V. P. Yakovlev, A precision gyroscope from the spin of light, arXiv:2406.16178.] regarding a precision gyroscope based on the intrinsic spin of light. To this end, we analyze the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in a physical system that uniformly rotates about the direction of wave propagation in the presence of an ambient medium. Finally, we consider the possibility of using this type of spin-of-light gyroscope to measure gravitomagnetic fields.
我们结合 Fedderke 等人最近提出的建议讨论光子自旋与旋转的耦合[M.A.Fedderke、R. Harnik、D. E.卡普兰、S. 波森、S. 拉金德兰、F. 塞拉和 V. P. 雅科夫列夫, 一个精密陀螺仪Yakovlev, A precision gyroscope from the spin of light, arXiv:2406.16178.] 关于基于光的固有自旋的精密陀螺仪。为此,我们分析了电磁辐射在一个物理系统中的传播,该系统在周围介质的存在下围绕波的传播方向均匀旋转。最后,我们考虑了使用这种光自旋陀螺仪测量重力磁场的可能性。
