Basic Principles
Stationary Rotating at angular velocity
A CCW folded back upon itself in a fashion that preserves symmetry
C - wise and counter C - wise propag are
identical. “Conventional” self-adjoint formulation. Dispersion is the same as that of a regular
CCW except for additional requirement of
periodicity:
Micro-cavities
Co-Rotation and Counter - Rotation propag DIFFER.
E-D in accelerating systems; non self-adjoint Dispersion differ for Co-R and Counter-R:
Two different directions
Formulation
• E-D in the rotating system frame of reference:
– We have the same form of Maxwell’s equations:
– But constitutive relations differ:
– The resulting wave equation is (first order in velocity):
• Procedure:
– Tight binding theory
– Non self-adjoint formulation (Galerkin)
• Results:
– Dispersion:

Depends on system design
The Gyro application
• Measure beats between Co-Rot and Counter-Rot modes:
• Rough estimate:
