Abstract

We present an unconventional technique to recover the directional information of the Thomas rotation angle effect in our recently proposed MGTI analogue of the Thomas effect in Special Relativity (SR) by intentionally introducing negative interferometric error (δℓ). At first glance, this appears counter-intuitive to common practice in literature, but we show that directionality information is recovered if the error value is within the proper value range determined by the front mirror reflectance coefficient r1 of the Gires-Tournois Resonator (GTR). Directionality can be completely recoverable for r1 ≤ 0.7, and it can be only partially recoverable for r1 > 0.7.
