2 Optical Analog of the Aharanov-Bohm Effect Prof. Heidi Fearn (1994) Physics dept. California State University Fullerton. APS colloquium talk.

3 Abstract: Electromagnetic wave eqns in a moving medium may be approximated by a form similar to the Schrodinger Eqn for a charged particle in an em field. The velocity v of the medium and Curl v plays the role of the vector potential and magnetic field respectively.
