Description
We report the first operation of a rotating odd-parity Lorentz invariance test in electrodynamics using a microwave Mach-Zehnder interferometer with permeable material in one arm. The experiment sets a direct bound to κtr of -0.3±3x10-7. Using new power recycled waveguide interferometer techniques (with the highest spectral resolution ever achieved of 2x10-11 rad/√(Hz)) we show an improvement of several orders of magnitude is attainable in the future.
