Abstract: I will discuss first order perturbations of guided electromagnetic waves which arise due to Earth’s rotation. Considering cylindrical waveguides as an example, the correction to the dispersion relation is computed and it is shown that nearby angular modes are coupled, giving rise to sidebands.
