论文摘要
在文献中，对相对论sagnac效应的起源没有共识，尤其是从旋转观察者的角度来看。 Wang等人的实验。但是，\ cite {wang2003修改，wang2004逐化}，但是质疑了平台在sagnac效应中旋转的关键作用。最近，反射器之间的相对运动迫使光线沿着封闭的路径传播和观察者归因于Sagnac效应的原因。在这里，我们提出了一个关于线性sagnac效应的思想实验，并探索了另一个提出的另一个提议，以证明sagnac效应的起源既不是影响时钟同步的框架的旋转，也不是源和观察者之间的相对运动。 SAGNAC效应纯粹源于观察者相对于光路的不对称位置。通过分析涉及旋转的Gedanken Sagnac类型实验来验证这样的结论。
In the literature, there is no consensus on the origin of the relativistic Sagnac effect, particularly from the standpoint of the rotating observer. The experiments of Wang et al. \cite{wang2003modified,wang2004generalized} has, however, questioned the pivotal role of rotation of the platform in Sagnac effect. Recently, the relative motion between the reflectors which force light to propagate along a closed path and the observer has been ascribed as the cause of the Sagnac effect. Here, we propose a thought experiment on linear Sagnac effect and explore another one proposed earlier to demonstrate that the origin of the Sagnac effect is neither the rotation of frame affecting clock synchronization nor the relative motion between the source and the observer; Sagnac effect originates purely due to asymmetric position of the observer with respect to the light paths. Such a conclusion is validated by analysis of a gedanken Sagnac kind experiment involving rotation.
