论文摘要
我们提供分析，以确定重力波对电磁波的影响，使用扰动理论一般相对论。我们的分析以完全协变的方式进行，而无需调用任何坐标。对于给定的观察者，在几何镜头近似中，我们可以根据引力波引起的相位，振幅，频率和极化特性（椭圆形和光的椭圆度）的扰动。关于重力波的观察，我们讨论了stokes参数的测量，通过该参数显示了天线模式以显示引力波信号的可检测性。
We provide analysis to determine the effects of gravitational waves on electromagnetic waves, using perturbation theory in general relativity. Our analysis is performed in a completely covariant manner without invoking any coordinates. For a given observer, in the geometrical-optics approximation, we work out the perturbations of the phase, amplitude, frequency and polarization properties--axes of ellipse and ellipticity of light, due to gravitational waves. With regard to the observation of gravitational waves, we discuss the measurement of Stokes parameters, through which the antenna patterns are presented to show the detectability of the gravitational wave signals.
