Abstract
The term rotational frequency shift (RFS) has been used in different contexts and it was given different meanings. Other terms have also been used (azimuthal Doppler shift, angular Doppler shift) to describe various related phenomena. In this article we stick to the meaning of the rotational frequency shift given by us in Phys. Rev. Lett.78, 2539 (1977). In order to make a clear distinction between our RFS and other related shifts we use the term dynamical RFS (DRFS). We will study the spectral properties of radiation emitted by rotating quantum sources.
