Sagnac Dual-Polarized Ring Laser Interferometric Effects for Microgravimetry on EM-Wave Polarization

Richard L. Amoroso

Abstract


Microgravimetric detectors have been studied for about 40 years; recent advances include free-fall gravimeters, spring-based gravimeters, superconducting gravimeters, and atom interferometers. The most recent gravimeter advance, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) constructed from tiny mechanical structures micro-machined from silicon, evolved from accelerometers used in cell phones to viable miniature gravimeters. Our model uses a different approach, that of measuring gravitational interaction on the polarization of EM-waves by the utility of Sagnac Effect 4-mode dual-photon propagation ring laser apparatus in the context of a Dirac polarized vacuum in terms of Extended Electromagnetic Theory, where the postulated longitudinal B(3) EM-field supports a photon mass anisotropy framework for G-wave detection.
