That is not necessary. The magnitude of the signal is determined by the 
distance between the mirrors, and the photodetector could be located 
anywhere between them without changing the magnitude of the signal. The 
signal is the change in phase, as a function of rod velocity wrt the lab.

IOW: "zero phase" between the signals corresponds to whatever value the 
detectors happen to have when the rod is not moving. This is necessary 
because the phase seen by the detectors depends on many things not 
directly involved in the measurement of the signals (including the 
offset between the mirrors). Note that by adjusting either compensator 
we can move that "zero phase" anywhere within the detectors' 180-degree 
range, which we'll of course put near the center.

The fibers are all single mode, which means the core diameter is just 
slightly larger than one wavelength, and the light propagates straight 
down the fiber axis. The lasers, mirrors, and photodetectors are all 
that same diameter, so there are no diagonal paths as you are apparently 
thinking. Each optical component must be aligned with the fiber core to 
better than a micron; the connectors do that automatically.

Impossible without a repeater signal refresher / reshaper. The curious 
thing about relativity is it always outgrows its base by lowering its 
domain of applicability same time.

It's the aspect of special relativity that you are supposedly trying to test, so you can't just assume it.  If you simply stipulate that the speed of light is isotropic in terms of two relatively moving systems of inertial coordinates, then you're stipulating the relativity of simultaneity for inertial coordinates.  In order to *test* this, you need to demonstrate that, indeed, the coordinates co-moving with the rod with isotropic light speed actually constitute an inertial coordinate system, i.e., that mechanical inertia is homogeneous and isotropic in terms of those coordinates.  That holds if, and only if, energy has inertia with the conversion factor of c^2.  In other words, you need to demonstrate Lorentz invariance, which is second-order.  You can read about this in any good book covering the foundations of relativity.  There is nothing in the first-order Sagnac effect that touches this.  Indeed the first-order Sagnac effect is compatible with an ether theory in Galilean relativity.

No.

The actual assumption is that the speed of light in a fiber is c/n
relative to the rest frame of the fiber -- that is solidly established
experimentally and is NOT what we are testing. The fibers between the
mirrors and the photodetector are at rest in the moving-rod frame.
Fibers bringing light to the mirrors don't matter, because the
compensators maintain the phase at the mirrors constant in the lab. So
the mirrors act as clocks synchronized in the lab and emitting ~ 200 THz
light toward the photodetector at the center of the rod.

By using spatial coordinates based on rulers at rest in the moving-rod
frame, and a time coordinate implicitly determined by the photodetector
at rest in the moving-rod frame, the moving-rod coordinates are
explicitly inertial.

The compensators that keep the phase at the half-silvered mirrors
constant in the lab distinguish this experiment from any Sagnac
measurement, including the "generalized Sagnac effect" of Wang et al --
this experiment differs in important ways from their fiber-optic conveyor.

Right, so you are not testing the relativity of simultaneity.  Again, if you simply stipulate that the speed of light is isotropic in each of two relatively moving systems of inertial coordinates, then you are simply stipulating the relativity of simultaneity.  You are not testing anything, other than the Sagnac effect.

No, you are simply assuming that inertial coordinates are defined by optical synchronization, but that's tantamount to assuming the relativity of simultaneity.  Inertial coordinates are actually defined by the requirement for inertia to be isotropic, and this leads to skewed time coordinates for different frames only because energy has inertia.  If it didn't, inertial coordinates would be related by Galilean transformations.  The only meaningful test is to show that energy has inertia, with proportionality c^2.  In contrast, you're not doing anything other than a very convoluted demonstration of the generalized Sagnac effect.

No, the entire effect is the generalized Sagnac effect.  If you compensate for that, there is nothing left.  To actually test the relativity of simultaneity due to Lorentz invariance requires looking at second-order effects and dynamics.

Huh? How does using existing experiments on the speed of light in a
fiber mean we are not testing relativity of simultaneity?

	Note that EVERY experiment must make assumptions.
	I don't see why you think that an experimentally-
	validated assumption about the speed of light in a
	fiber negates a measurement of clock synchronization.
	(More on your claims about "meaningful tests" below.)

I keep coming back to this basic question:

   This experiment will show that clocks synchronized in the lab
   frame are not synchronized in the moving-rod frame. How is
   that not a demonstration of the relativity of simultaneity?

We will measure the difference in synchronization as a function of both 
L (separation of the mirrors) and v (relative velocity). So we WILL be 
testing SR's predictions. That is what experimenters do. The fact that 
you can apply the label "Sagnac effect" to the analysis does not change 
this.

> Again, if you simply stipulate that the speed of light is isotropic

> then you are simply stipulating the relativity of simultaneity. 

First, I do NOT "stipulate that the speed of light is isotropic in each 
of two relatively moving systems of inertial coordinates" -- SR 
concludes that. I stipulate the assumption I gave above, which is QUITE 
DIFFERENT.

You seem to have a very unusual view of what experimental physics is. 
What you say are "stipulations" are actually PREDICTIONS of SR. And the 
whole point of experimental physics is to test such predictions. When 
all is said and done, for this experiment SR predicts a specific 
variation in phase at the photodetector, as a function of L and v. That 
is a set of numbers, and is what we will test. It does not matter what 
labels one applies, be they "Sagnac effect" or "relativity of simultaneity".

> You
> are not testing anything, other than the Sagnac effect.

  1) Now that I understand that by "Sagnac effect" you mean merely
     that the detector moves during the light's flight, I agree
     that this does test that.
  2) SR predicts that such phenomena are independent of frame, and
     in the moving-rod frame this is indeed explained by relativity
     of simultaneity.
SR predicts both of these, and we will test BOTH: (1) via analysis in 
the lab frame and (2) via analysis in the moving-rod frame.

No. There is no "optical synchronization" in the moving frame, there is 
just a single photodetector. Such detectors inherently project their 
measurements onto their own 4-velocity, and since it is at rest in the 
moving-rod frame, its 4-velocity is parallel to that frame's time 
coordinate. So the photodetector in essence determines the moving-frame 
time coordinate (see my next paragraph).

> Inertial coordinates are actually
> defined by the requirement for inertia to be isotropic,

OK. An experimental implementation of that is to use 3 
mutually-perpendicular rulers at rest in the frame to define the spatial 
coordinates, and a clock at rest in the frame to define the time 
coordinate. That's what we're doing -- the moving-frame clock happens to 
be inside the data-acquisition system (DAQ) that measures the phase of 
the signal from the photodetector.

	The DAQ system is at rest in the lab frame, and there is
	a (swinging) coax cable from the moving-frame photo-
	detector to the lab-frame DAQ. It's easy to show that the
	effect of this on the measurement is negligible. (The
	phase of 200 THz light is significantly affected by cable
	flexing; the effect on the 260 MHz signal from the photo-
	detector is much, much smaller and easy to test.)

> The only meaningful test is to

There are many hundreds of papers about experiments testing SR. Most if 
not all of their authors would disagree with that claim (if their test 
were not meaningful they would not have published). Certainly I and my 
collaborators disagree -- this is a meaningful test of a prediction of 
SR that has never been tested (assuming we get the phase noise low enough).

	[The Sagnac effect has been tested many times, but none
	 of them also test the relativity of simultaneity.]

Why would you think that? After all, the relativity of simultaneity is 
first order in v/c. As I said before: to demonstrate the relativity of 
simultaneity one must measure clocks. That is what this experiment does:

   This experiment will show that clocks synchronized in the lab
   frame are not synchronized in the moving-rod frame. How is
   that not a demonstration of the relativity of simultaneity?

Doesn’t this mean that the speed of light is anisotropic in the moving rod frame?

No. The speed of light in the fibers is c/n relative to the fiber's rest 
frame, which is the moving-rod frame. That is manifestly isotropic.

With the mirrors acting as clocks, the arrival of out-of-phase light 
signals at the photodetector implies that the clocks are not in sync in 
the moving-rod frame; they are maintained in sync in the lab frame. 
That's relativity of simultaneity.

Agree....But you asserted that the light arrive at the mid-point detector out of phase. That means that the speed of light is different in different directions.

The mirrors are not clocks. If they caused the light from the ends of the rod out of phase is because your set-up is not capable of detecting what you are trying to detect.

No, it does NOT. It could also mean that the light at the mirrors is not 
in phase, AS PREDICTED BY SR.

> The mirrors are not clocks. 

They are equivalent to clocks emitting ~ 200 THz light toward the 
photodetector. The fact that they don't tally their counts is irrelevant 
here.

When the rod is not moving, there is no phase shift. That means that light at the mirrors are in phase and thus the speed of light is isotropic. When the rod is moving, there is phase shift. That means that the speed of light is anisotropic.
I suggest the following:
1. When the rod is swinging right to left....compare the shifts of light from both directions to see if the shift is right to left.
2. When the rod is swinging left to right...compare the shifts of light from both directions to see if the shift is left to right.
3. If the shifts at 1 and 2 are different in both directions then it means that the speed of light is sensitive to the motion of the rod.

No, it does not.

When the rod is swinging to the right, then the right end in the lab frame
has moved a distance to the right that the light to the right has yet to
cover; when it returns from the right mirror to the photodetector (D), the
photodetector has moved to the right so that the reflected light has less
distance to cover.

Likewise, the left end has moved a distance to the right, so that the light
to the left has less distance to cover; while it is returning from the left
mirror to the photodetector, the photodetector has moved a distance to the
right, and the reflected light from the left has more distance to cover to
reach the photodetector.

Once again, the corresponding graphic (this is exactly equivalent to the
train-and-lightnings thought experiment, except that here is reflection):

Here the experiment is moving in the lab frame with half the speed of light,
which is isotropic in the moving-rod frame (and in the lab frame).

Do you see the phase shift and insynchronicity *in the lab frame* now?

All the evidence we have is that only relative motions matter. The 
proposition that t = t'  is incompatible with that.

Using simple algebra, Einstein shows that it cannot represent a universe 
in which only relative motions matter.
