The axion is a light pseudoscalar particle which suppresses CP-violating effects in strong interactions and also happens to be an excellent dark matter candidate. Axions constituting the dark matter halo of our galaxy may be detected by…

Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In Phys.Rev.Lett. 123 (2019) no.11, 111301, we have proposed a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity. If the scheme…
