Abstract
THE early experiments of Fresnel-Fizeau on the velocity of light in a moving medium can be described in modern terminology as the development of an optical delay line with controlled dwell time. Similar changes in a light beam can be generated by present-day versions of an optical delay line (of which there are a number), where controlled dwell time is achieved by the use of an electrooptic medium1,2.
