Rotation of polarization in the gravitational field of a laser beam—Faraday effect and optical activity
We investigate the rotation of the polarization of a light ray propagating in the gravitational
field of a circularly polarized laser beam. The rotation consists of a reciprocal part due to …

Wigner phase of photonic helicity states in the spacetime of the Earth
J Kohlrus, J Louko, I Fuentes, DE Bruschi - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We study relativistic effects on polarised photons that travel in a curved spacetime. As a
concrete application, we consider photons in the gravitational field of the Earth, on a closed …

Rotation of polarization by a moving gravitational lens
M Lyutikov - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
We present a simple prescription for the rotation of polarization produced by a relativistically
moving gravitational lens, applicable to arbitrary deflection angle and arbitrary velocity of the …
