Spin-of-light gyroscope and the spin-rotation coupling

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.

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.
