We report a photonic circuit analogue of the relativistic aberration of light (AL) phenomenon in Special Relativity (SR) using an All-Pass Filter (APF). The APF is one of the key building blocks in Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). We investigate its phase characteristics for AL in detail. We als...
