Abstract
The deflection of a laser beam traveling through a modulated electric field is measured using phase-sensitive detection to place an upper bound on the photon charge. An upper limit of 10−14e is obtained. Our approach provides a simple experimental scheme for angle measurements and is suitable as a laboratory exercise for both advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physical science.
