Deflection of light by a Coulomb charge in Born–Infeld electrodynamics
Abstract We study the propagation of light under a strong electric field in Born–Infeld electrodynamics. The nonlinear effect can be described by the effective indices of refraction. Because the effective indices of refraction depend on the background electric field, the path of light can be bent wh...
