Phase shifts vs time delays: Sagnac and Hong-Ou-Mandel

Published 5 Apr 2011 in physics.optics and quant-ph | (1104.0970v1)

Abstract: We point out that the Sagnac effect can be measured by means of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect. The latter is not sensitive to phase shifts, and thus the Hong-Ou-Mandel Sagnac effect hinges on the fact that the Sagnac effect is, fundamentally, a time delay, not a phase shift.
