What is recorded here?
Reported a fringe displacement between counter-propagating light beams in a uniformly rotating interferometer, with sign reversal under reversed rotation and magnitude tied to the apparatus rotation.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the first 1913 Comptes rendus report and its observation. It does not endorse Sagnac's ether interpretation, absorb his second 1913 paper, or include later ring-laser, fibre-optic and navigation gyroscopes.
