Phys. Rev. D 58, 064009 (1998) [7 pages]General relativistic corrections to the Sagnac effectReceived 4 November 1997; published 10 August 1998 The difference in travel time of corotating and counterrotating light waves in the field of a central massive and spinning body is studied. The corrections to the special relativistic formula are worked out in a Kerr field. An estimation of numeric values for the Earth and satellites in orbit around it show that a direct measurement is on the order of concrete possibilities. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
