We investigate the effect of the unavoidable optical loss on the recently reported optical analogue of the relativistic Thomas Effect which uses a photonic chip-based lossless All-Pass Filter (APF) circuit [J. of Mod. Optics 65.19 (2018): 2171-2178]. When the APF has loss, both its phase and amplitu...
