Abstract

The Fresnel drag is viewed in the frame of nonlinear and/or nanostructured uniformly moving media. It is shown that in the case of intense light pulse interaction with an optically nonlinear medium the relativistic frequency chirp due to self-phase modulation is smaller than in the rest frame. In the case of light interaction with optically linear or nonlinear nanostructured medium the Fresnel drag depends on the effective refractive index of the medium. While the nanostructures are in a liquid matrix the drag can be controlled by the fill fraction of the inclusions. As an example the Fresnel drag for optically linear Bruggeman liquid is considered.
