Abstract: | Experimental investigations of the photon’s B (3)-field (third longitudinal polarization) are reported. The existence of an “axial magnetostatic field of photon” has been predicted in B π or B (3)-theory as the fundamental property of the circularly polarized light, and reported in numerous papers and monographs. High-sensitivity detection has been employed in photomagnetic induction, Faraday, and inverse Faraday effects (IFE) originating from such a field. The results of all three experiments clearly disprove the claims of B π-theory. Putting together these results and theoretical calculations in perspective, it is concluded that such fields are non-existent. Received: 25 January 1996 / Revised version: 24 May 1996 |
