Reaction of elastic media environment on the variation of the gravitational field

In this paper, the results of theoretical calculations within the elastodynamic models of Maugin and Weber are applied to the study of the influence of variations of the geopotential on the frequency of generation of the laser system. We showed that the phenomenon of gravitationally induced frequency shift of laser generation can be used to create a laser-interferometric meter of the first, second and higher (vertical and horizontal) derivatives of the Earth’s gravitational field.
