Title: Verification of metric theory of gravitation using beam width correction for Sagnac effect

Journal Article · · Chin. Phys.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5271640

The effect of finite beam width on the Sagnac frequency shift has been calculated by Zhbairy and Scully. However, their analysis is somewhat incorrect. In the present paper, we point out the questions included in their article and give a new analysis on this subject and the corrected equations for Sagnac effect for square ring lasers.
