均匀介质中光速的微粒描述

Corpuscular description of the speed of light in a homogeneous medium

Marcel Urban, Francois Couchot, Sylvie Dagoret Campagne, Xavier Sarazin

摘要:

我们通常用粒子来描述光的探测,用波来描述光从光源到探测器的传播。例如,光在透明介质中的减慢总是在电磁波的框架内解释的。我们建议通过一个纯粹的微粒的描述来接近这种现象。我们发现表达式的折射率略有不同,从通常的麦克斯韦波的方法。因此,我们将这些表达式与实验折射率进行比较,我们表明,这两个再现以及数据。我们还展示了这种微粒框架如何对自聚焦克尔效应给出了非常自然的解释。最后给出了光速涨落的实验展望。

英文摘要:

We are used to describe the detection of light in terms of particles and its propagation from the source to the detection, by waves. For instance, the slowing down of light in a transparent medium is always explained within the electromagnetic wave framework. We propose to approach that phenomenon through a purely corpuscular description. We find expression for the refractive indices which differ slightly from the usual Maxwell wave approach. We thus compare these expressions against experimental refractive indices and we show that both reproduce well the data. We show also how this corpuscular framework gives a very natural interpretation to the self focusing Kerr effect. Finally an experimental expectation of fluctuation of the speed of light is presented.
