摘要：

We have carried out a modern version of the Kennedy-Thorndike experiment by searching for sidereal variations between the frequency of a laser locked to an l2 reference line and a laser locked to the resonance frequency of a highly stable cavity. No variations were found at the level of 2×10-13. This represents a 300-fold improvement over the original Kennedy-Thorndike experiment and allows the Lorentz transformations to be deduced entirely from experiment at an accuracy level of 70 ppm. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
