A variant of the experiment to observe the optical Aharonov—Bohm effect has been discussed. In the experiment, a unipolar subcycle light pulse has been proposed as a source of the vector potential acting on electrons and having zero electric field strength in the region of a nonzero vector potential. Such a relation between the field and potential appears because the unipolar pulse has a nonzero electric area. An unusual situation where the fact of the passage of the pulse in one of the arms of two-beam interferometer is stored for a very long time after the passage and can be recorded in a two-beam electronic interferometer by a shift of fringes has been discussed. Detailed analysis of the phase shift under the influence of the vector potential created by the inhomogeneous unipolar pulse removes this contradiction and shows the equality of phase incursions in both arms that is unobvious at first glance.

光学Aharonov-玻姆效应

已经讨论了观察光学Aharonov-Bohm效应的实验变体。在实验中，已经提出了单极子周期光脉冲作为作用在电子上的矢量电势的源，并且在非零矢量电势的区域中具有零电场强度。因为单极脉冲具有非零的电面积，所以出现了电场和电势之间的这种关系。一种不寻常的情况是，脉冲在两束干涉仪的一个支臂中通过的事实在通过之后被存储了很长时间，并且可以通过条纹的移动将其记录在两束电子干涉仪中。讨论过。
