They show that it is possible to create intense photon radiation when two conducting plates are modulated periodically. Widom reports they are planning on doing experiments to look for this effect Scharnhorst. K, "On propagation of light in the vacuum between plates" Physics Letters 8236, 354-359 (1990). Calculates that the velocity of light between two Casimir plates is anisotropic, with the velocity of light perpendicular to the plates being greater than the velocity of light in unconfined space. See Barton (1990), Barton and Scharnhorst (993), and Milonni and Svozil (1990).] K. Scharnhorst wishes to p4Oint out that Eq. (26) in this paper should read c/c-1.5x10 56 a) Sen, Dev. "Casimir force measurement between two goldplated quartz flats at large separations" oral paper at meeting of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, Toronto, Canada (15-19 May 1995). [Viewgraph copies only. No paper" was prepared. The only ongoing experiment attempting to measure the Casimir force between conducting plates. Dev Sen is doing the experiment as an undergraduate honors project at the University of Washington under the supervision of Prof. Steve K. Lamoreaux. He has recently achieved a plate separation of 8 m during setup, but still has along way to go before starting to take data Serry, F Michael, Dirk Walliser, and G.
