TL;DR

This paper predicts how high-frequency gravitational waves can induce detectable photon fluxes in a specialized electromagnetic resonance system, offering a potential method for observing such waves through their unique perturbative effects.

Contribution

It introduces a novel resonance system that enhances the detection of high-frequency gravitational waves via perturbative photon fluxes with distinctive properties.

Findings

PPF peaks at symmetrical surface where background flux vanishes

Resonance effect is highly sensitive to wave propagation direction

Reflected or transmitted PPF shows minimal decay compared to background flux

Abstract

We consider the electromagnetic (EM) perturbative effects produced by the high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) in the GHz band in a special EM resonance system, which consists of fractal membranes, a Gaussian beam (GB) passing through a static magnetic field. It is predicted, under the synchroresonance condition, coherence modulation of the HFGWs to the preexisting transverse components of the GB produces the transverse perturbative photon flux (PPF),which has three novel and important properties: (1)The PPF has maximum at a longitudinal symmetrical surface of the GB where the transverse background photon flux (BPF) vanishes; (2) the resonant effect will be high sensitive to the propagating directions of the HFGWs; (3) the PPF reflected or transmitted by the fractal membrane exhibits a very small decay compared with very large decay of the much stronger BPF. Such properties might provide a new way to distinguish and display the perturbative effects produced by the HFGWs. We also discuss the high-frequency asymptotic behavior of the relic GWs in the microwave band and the positive definite issues of their energy-momentum pseudo-tensor.
