Abstract

In this contribution to PSAS 2010, we report on recent progress on an experiment aimed at measuring small optical directional anisotropies by frequency metrology in a high-finesse ring cavity. We focus on our first experimental goal, the measurement of magneto-electric effects in gases. After a review of the expected effects in our set-up, we present the apparatus and the measurement procedure, showing that we already have the necessary sensitivity to start novel experiments.
