We present an unconventional approach to generate an optical analogue of the Thomas rotation angle found in Special Relativity (SR) by using a thin-film–based Gires–TournoisResonator (GTR). At first glance, the phase response of the GTR seems to fail as an optical analogue for the Thomas rotation an...
