Modern Optical Tests of Special Relativity
2007 European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and the International Quantum Electronics Conference, 2007In this paper, the authors give a detailed report on a specific such clock comparison, which can be viewed as a modern descendant of the classical Michelson-Morley experiment testing the isotropy of the speed of light.

Tests of special relativity using the Doppler effect
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1976The classical and relativistic Doppler shifts are compared for light incident at any angle upon a perfectly reflecting mirror moving in any arbitrary direction. It is shown that experiments designed to test the theory of special relativity in reflecting systems must be accurate up to third order in v/c.

NEW OPTICAL TESTS OF SPECIAL RELATIVITY
Laser Spectroscopy, 2004Special Relativity (SR) is a fundamental theory that underlies all established models of the forces of nature, from the gravitational and electromagnetic to the weak and strong nuclear forces. Violations of SR, however, seem to be a common feature of many proposed models of quantum gravity, like string theory and loop gravity.

Fundamental Tests of Special Relativity and the Isotropy of Space [PDF]
, 1987 When one considers tests of special relativity and the isotropy of space, the experiment of MICHELSON and MORLEY [1] immediately comes to mind. These scientists might not have anticipated that one hundred years after their landmark experiment, there is an ever increasing interest in the subject.

Critical reviews and tests of the foundations of special relativity [PDF]
Foundations of Physics Letters, 1988 The origin of the equilibrium paradoxes of special relativity is here analysed. We show that static forces, as defined by Hooke's law, do not transform in the same way as the usual dynamical forces, thus giving rise to the paradoxes. This inconsistency justifies the present search for alternative theories such as the modern ether theories. Some crucial

Experimental test of special relativity by laser spectroscopy [PDF]
Hyperfine Interactions, 2006 The Doppler-free laser-spectroscopic frequency measurement of Doppler-shifted optical lines in forward and backward direction of a fast ion beam permits a sensitive test of the relativistic Doppler-formula and, hence, the relativistic time dilation factor γ SR=(1−ν 2/c 2)−1/2.

Improved optical test of special relativity
2003 European Quantum Electronics Conference. EQEC 2003 (IEEE Cat No.03TH8665), 2003A new Michelson-Morley (MM) experiment that is based on a one-year comparison of the frequencies /spl nu//sub x/ and /spl nu//sub y/ of two lasers stabilized to crossed cryogenic optical resonators (CORES) at 1064 nm. The experiment relies on a highly developed laser frequency stabilization scheme: an automatic beam positioning system continuously ...

Test theories of special relativity
General Relativity and Gravitation, 1995We review the Edwards transformation, and investigate the Robertson transformation and the Mansouri-Sexl (ms) transformation. It is shown that thems transformation is a generalization of the Robertson transformation, just as the Edwards transformation is a generalization of the Lorentz transformation.
