Previously, we reported a simple, low-cost, thin–film–based optical analogue of the Thomas Effect in Special Relativity (SR) using an ideal Michelson-Gires-Tournois interferometer (MGTI). This opens the door for other SR related phenomena to be studied analogously. Toward this goal, there are two im...
