Phys. Rev. A 71, 050101(R) (2005) [4 pages]Test of constancy of speed of light with rotating cryogenic optical resonators
A test of Lorentz invariance for electromagnetic waves was performed by comparing the resonance frequencies of two optical resonators as a function of orientation in space. In terms of the Robertson-Mansouri-Sexl theory, we obtain β−δ−1∕2=(+0.5±3±0.7)×10−10, a tenfold improvement compared to the previous best results. We also set a first upper limit for a parameter of the standard model extension test theory, ∣(κ̃e−)ZZ∣<2×10−14. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
