Yes. we all know how beating takes place.

It's anything BUT simple A when applied to a four mirror sagnac..

The point is, in the sagnac, no 'beating' takes place during constant rotation.
Your explantion doesn't achieve that.

I'm just having a dig at his willful ignorance in snipping my explanation
of Sagnac and his stupid insistence that my statement was false.
He has "deletethis" in his email address to guard against spammers
automatically gathering lists, little realizing spyware has replaced
the technique. That why the increase in firewalls and popup stoppers.
So I did as he asked and deleted.

It's extremely simple. Here I'll make v = c to show how simple it is.

Side of square 300 meters. Delta t = 1 microsecond.
Observer stands at A.

t = 0

A----B
|
C----D

Light leave A, goes toward mirrors B and C at speed c.

t = 1
Light has arrived at B and at C. 300 metres, 1 usec.
During this time, turntable has revolved 90 degrees.

C----A
|
D----B

t = 2.
Light has arrived at D from B, meets light at D fron C.
During this time, turntable has revolved 90 degrees.
D----C
|
B----A

Observer is now standing at D, he didn't move, still at top left.
One ray went all the way around, the other stayed by the observer
while its source went backwards at c.
f1 = f(c-v)/c = 0
f2 = f(c+v)/c = 2.
Beat frequency 2+0 = 2-0 = 2f.
No relativist should look at a high speed 4 mirror Sagnac,
his heart will stop as time stops.
You and I only need worry about holding the equipment
together in the centrifuge, we can stand above or below
for our own safety. I have not yet developed a suitable
alloy to take the strain or we would have the ideal relativist
murder machine, slaughtered by their own theory. An
autopsy will not convict either of us, it was suicide anyway.

(NOT Suitable for 5yo Kids)
Sagnac is off limits to 5yo Kids, tusselader, moortels and idiots in
general.

Depend on the cooling.
Say 50 - 150C.

I am a little reluctant to use much time to explain
to you what you will ignore anyway.
But in a laSEr, we are talking about Stimulated Emission.
That means that a photon passing close by an atom may stimulate
it to emit a new photon with the same direction and with the same
phase.

> Why should gas lasers work at all?

Why indeed. :-)
I am not going to give a thorough description, you can look it up
yourself if you really want to know.
But you never really want to know, you will rather invent it yourself.

But I will mention a few points of special interest to this discussion.
Let us consider a HeNe laser. Let us assume the gas temp. is 350k.
Let us assume the length of the tube is ca. 0.75 m.
The rms speed of the He atoms will be:
v^2 = 3kT/m where m is 4 proton masses.
v = 1.47 km/s. (rms)
v/c = 5*10^-6.
This means that the frequency emitted by the atoms
will be Doppler shifted, so the frequency will be
distributed like a Gauss function with relative width ca. 5*10^-6.
The central frequency fo = ca. 0.5*10^15 Hz

However, the laser tube is a resonator, and only the frequencies
given by f = m*c/2L can exist in the resonator.
The distance between the possible frequencies is:
delta_f = c/2L = 2*10^8 Hz.
delta_f/fo = 4*10^-7

Note that a laser do not emit strictly monochromatic
light, but a number of close spectral lines.
We can see that in the order of 10 spectral lines can exist
within the frequency distribution above.

We KNOW this is happening in a laser.
Each spectral line is emitted by atoms with
a specific longitudinal velocity component.

According to the BaT, the light from these spectral
lines should travel at different speeds.
They don't.
BaT falsified.

In that case you are wrong if I understand your diagram.
When the rotation is at constant speed, the path length
is also constant at the length of line AD or roughly:

L' = L + v * t / sqrt(2)

When the rotation is at constant acceleration, the path
length is also constant at the length of line AE or
roughly:

L' = L + (v * t + a * t^2 / 2) / sqrt(2)

_________
/
/ ^
__________/ | speed

______________________

time

Your diagram predicts there would be an output like
this:

__
| | ^
| | | output
| | |
| |
__________|__|________

------>
time


Guess what, I agree with that conclusion.

There is no method to provide physical integration
because the number of wavelengths in the path does
not affect the time difference between wavefront
arrivals in the two beams which is what produces
the output.

Actually I think your diagram is oversimplified but
we can go with it for the moment, it is close enough.

Last time I did that you said:

and since what you said above conflicts with your
statement that you think you can explain Sagnac, it
was essential to check.

Sure, no problem. My ASCII sketches show exaggerated
slopes on wavefronts as well but they all serve their
purpose.
