It is shown here that a cloud of charged particles could in principle absorb energy from gravitational waves (GWs) incident upon it, resulting in wave attenuation. This could in turn have implications for the interpretation of future data from early universe GWs.

We investigate the influence of a gravitational wave background on particles in circular motion. We are especially interested in waves leading to stationary orbits. This consideration is limited to circular orbits perpendicular to the incidence direc tion. As a main result of our calculation we obtain in addition to the well-known alteration of the radial distance a time dependent correction term for the phase modifying the circular motion of the particle. A background of gravitational waves creates some kind of uncertainty.
Motivated by the next generation of gravitational wave (GW) detectors, we study the wave mechanics of a twisted light beam in the GW perturbed spacetime. We found a new gravitational dipole interaction of photons and gravitational waves. Physically, this interaction is due to coupling between the angular momentum of twisted light and the GW polarizations. We demonstrate that for the higher-order Laguerre-Gauss (LG) modes, this coupling effect makes photons undergoing dipole transitions between different orbital-angular-momentum(OAM) eigenstates, and leads to some measurable optical features in the 2-D intensity pattern. It offers an alternative way to realize precision measurements of the gravitational waves, and enables us to extract more information about the physical properties of gravitational waves than the current interferometry. With a well-designed optical setup, this dipole interaction is expected to be justified in laboratories.
We show that kinematics of charged particles allows us to model the growth of particles energy by consecutive particle-splits, once a spherical mirror as a perfectly reflective boundary is placed outside a charged black hole. We consider a charged ve rsion of the Penrose process, in which a charged particle decays into two fragments, one of them has negative energy and the other has positive energy that is larger than that of the parent particle. The confinement system with the mirror makes the particles energy amplified each time a split of the parent particle occurs. Thus, the energy is a monotonically increasing function of time. However, the energy does not increase unboundedly, but rather asymptotes to a certain finite value, implying no instability of the system in this respect.
In the current work we investigate the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the field of gravitational waves. Starting with simple case of an electromagnetic wave travelling in the field of a plane monochromatic gravitational wave we introduce the concept of surfing effect and analyze its physical consequences. We then generalize these results to an arbitrary gravitational wave field. We show that, due to the transverse nature of gravitational waves, the surfing effect leads to significant observable consequences only if the velocity of gravitational waves deviates from speed of light. This fact can help to place an upper limit on the deviation of gravitational wave velocity from speed of light. The micro-arcsecond resolution promised by the upcoming precision interferometry experiments allow to place stringent upper limits on $epsilon = (v_{gw}-c)/c$ as a function of the energy density parameter for gravitational waves $Omega_{gw}$. For $Omega_{gw} approx 10^{-10}$ this limit amounts to $epsilonlesssim 2cdot 10^{-2}$.
Wave propagation of field disturbances is ubiquitous. The electromagnetic and gravitational are cousin theories in which the corresponding waves play a relevant role to understand several related physical. It has been established that small electroma gnetic waves can generate gravitational waves and vice versa when scattered by a charged black hole. In the realm of cylindrical spacetimes, we present here a simple nonlinear effect of the conversion of electromagnetic to gravitational waves reflected by the amount of mass extracted from them.
