We have a black box. A light ray (incoherent, unpolarized, and
polychromatic or not, but at least collimated), enters through one
hole and exits another hole at a 45 degree angle. Was the rerouting
modality
1) an electrically conductive mirror,
2) a dielectric mirror,
3) total internal reflection (e.g., binocular prisms),
4) a fiberoptic,
5) a gradient refractive index (e.g., mirage),
6) a black hole,
7) something else?
Perhaps one should address issues of phase, birefringence,
polarization ratio, and collimation before and after to diagnose what
lies in the middle. If the black hole is spinning, then what? It's
hard to imagine how one could assemble a black hole and not have it be
spinning.
Given a non-spinning black hole, how do you allow for the difference
in radial distance of beamwidth? There is a rather large GM/r^2 vs. r
plus tidal forces from field divergence.
Or am I being too practical?
