Testability of nonlinear electrodynamics
- 1. Institute of Physical Sciences of the University and Sezione dell'I.N.F.N.,20133 Milano, Italy
Description
Laser interferometry combined with present-day electronic techniques now make it possible to test nonlinear-electrodynamics predictions in the weak-field limit, up to a sensitivity of 10-23 in the relative variation of the velocity of light. The significance of such tests in regard to QED predictions is noted
