General Theory of Light Propagation and Imaging Through the Atmosphere

by T. Stewart McKechnie ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
This book lays out a new, general theory of light propagation and imaging through Earth’s turbulent atmosphere. Current theory is based on the – now widely doubted – assumption of Kolmogorov turbulence. The new theory is based on a generalized atmosphere, the turbulence characteristics of which can be established, as needed, from readily measurable properties of point-object, or star, images.The ...

Advanced Interferometers and the Search for Gravitational Waves

Lectures from the First VESF School on Advanced Detectors for Gravitational Waves

Edited by Massimo Bassan ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
The search for gravitational radiation with optical interferometers is gaining momentum worldwide. Beside the VIRGO and GEO gravitational wave observatories in Europe and the two LIGOs in the United States, which have operated successfully during the past decade, further observatories are being completed (KAGRA in Japan) or planned (ILIGO in India). The sensitivity of the current observatories, ... Read more

Tests of Lorentz Invariance with an Optical Ring Cavity

by Yuta Michimura ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
This thesis describes one of the most precise experimental tests of Lorentz symmetry in electrodynamics by light-speed anisotropy measurement with an asymmetric optical ring cavity. The author aims to answer the fundamental, hypothetical debate on Lorentz symmetry in the Universe. He concludes that the symmetry is protected within an error of 10-15, which means providing one of the most stringent ... Read more
