Generalizing Optical Geometry

چکیده
We generalize the optical geometry to include, not only conformally static spacetimes, but any spacetime that admits a hypersurface orthogonal shearless congruence of worldlines. In the generalized optical geometry, which in general is time dependent, photons move with constant speed along spatial geodesics. Gyroscopes moving along spatial geodesics do not precess. We also classify inertial forces within this framework. For a Schwarzschild black hole the generalized optical geometry works from infinity, across the horizon and arbitrarily close to the singularity.

Ray-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملP-structures, P-geometry and Observer’s Perceptive Space
Abstract mathematical theory of an observer is elaborated upon the basis of A.Poincare’s ideas on the nature of geometry and the role of observer’s perceptive space. The said theory is generalizing reference frames theory in GR. Physical structure (P-structure) and corresponding physical geometry (P-geometry) notions, representing properties invariance of some physical objects and their relatio...

متن کاملOptical Limiting Properties of Colloids Enhanced by Gold Nanoparticles Based on Nonlinear Refraction for Cw Laser Illumination
In this work, thermo-optical properties of gold nanoparticle colloids are studied using continuous wave (CW) laser irradiation at 532 nm. The nanoparticle colloids are fabricated by 18 ns pulsed laser ablation of pure gold plate in the distilled water. The formation of the nanoparticles has been evidenced by optical absorption spectra and transmission electron microscopy. The nonlinear optical ...
