Optical Analog of the
Aharanov-Bohm Effect
Prof. Heidi Fearn (1994)
Physics dept.
California State University Fullerton.
APS colloquium talk.
Abstract:
Electromagnetic wave eqns in a moving
medium may be approximated by a form
similar to the Schrodinger Eqn for a charged
particle in an em field. The velocity v of the
medium and Curl v plays the role of the
vector potential and magnetic field
respectively.
