In this work we analyze the propagation of photons in an environment where a strong magnetic field (perpendicular to the photon momenta) coexists with an oscillating cold axion background with the characteristics expected from dark matter in the galactic halo. Qualitatively, the main effect of the combined background is to produce a three-way mixing among the two photon polarizations and the axion. It is interesting to note that in spite of the extremely weak interaction of photons with the cold axion background, its effects compete with those coming from the magnetic field in some regions of the parameter space. We determine (with one plausible simplification) the proper frequencies and eigenvectors as well as the corresponding photon ellipticity and induced rotation of the polarization plane that depend both on the magnetic field and the local density of axions. We also comment on the possibility that some of the predicted effects could be measured in optical table-top experiments.

“…To probe the axion, a variety of experiments and observations have been performed [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] (see also [25] for recent review). They utilize a weak topological coupling between the axion and gauge bosons, such as photons, and detect an axion-photon conversion effect (dubbed "Primakoff effect") under an external magnetic field [26].…”

“…The conventional way to probe axion is to look for a phenomena that axion and photon are converted each other under the background magnetic field, known as the axion-photon conversion [3]. Many experiments and astronomical observations have been performed to probe axion via the axion-photon conversion [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] , while no signal has been found (for recent reviews, see [23]). Recently, however, a new experimental approach to search for axion dark matter was proposed which does not need a strong magnetic field but uses optical cavity [24][25][26][27].…”

Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In this Letter, a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity is proposed. If the scheme is applied to the Fabry-Pérot arm of Advanced LIGO-like (Cosmic-Explorer-like) gravitational wave detector, the potential sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling constant, gaγ, reaches gaγ 8 × 10 −13 GeV −1 (4 × 10 −14 GeV −1 ) at the axion mass m 3 × 10 −13 eV (2 × 10 −15 eV) and remains at around this sensitivity for 3 orders of magnitude in mass. Furthermore, its sensitivity has a sharp peak reaching gaγ 10 −14 GeV −1 (8×10 −17 GeV −1 ) at m = 1.563×10 −10 eV (1.563 × 10 −11 eV). This sensitivity can be achieved without loosing any sensitivity to gravitational waves.
