A polarisation modulation scheme for measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence with static fields

Optics 2016-06-22 v1

Abstract

A novel polarisation modulation scheme for polarimeters based on Fabry-Perot cavities is presented. The application to the proposed HERA-X experiment aiming to measuring the magnetic birefringence of vacuum with the HERA superconducting magnets is discussed.
