Light phase shift in the field of a gravitational wave

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We show that the response of an interferometric device to a monochromatic gravitational wave results from two different contributions: one due to the change of space geometry (mirror motion) and the other one due to the change of time rate (photon red- or blue-shift). An alternative exact derivation of phase shift is given.
