Fresnel drag in space-time-modulated metamaterials [Applied Physical Sciences]

A moving medium drags light along with it as measured by Fizeau and explained by Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Here we show that the same effect can be obtained in a situation where there is no physical motion of the medium. Modulations of both the permittivity and permeability, phased...
