Abstract: | It is shown that in the nonlinear electrodynamics of vacuum, which is a corollary of quantum electrodynamics, a weak electromagnetic wave propagates in the field of an intense laser radiation as if this took place in some effective space-time whose metric tensor depends on the electric field of the laser radiation. The components of the metric vector of the effective space-time along the geodesic lines of which the rays of the weak electromagnetic wave propagate in the given case have been found. It is pointed out that this property may serve as a basis for observing the manifestations of the nonlinearity of the electrodynamics of vacuum. |
