We address the bending of light when the quantum electrodynamic vacuum is modified by non-charge-like sources. The magnetic field of a neutron star can make a gradient for the index of refraction from the nonlinear electrodynamic effect. We calculate the bending angle when a light ray passes around a magnetized neutron star. We also calculate the bending of light by a black body radiation assuming that a neutron star is an isothermal black body. We estimate the order of magnitude for both bending angles and compare them with the bending angle by gravitation.

The eikonal method was used to construct differential equations for beams of electromagnetic waves in magnetic and gravitational fields of pulsars, according to the nonlinear electrodynamics of the vacuum. Integrating these equations using successive approximations allows us to find the ray equations and a parametric form of the law of motion for these beams' electromagnetic pulses. It is shown that the electromagnetic pulse passing through the magnetic field of the pulsar propagates as two normal waves, arriving at the detector along two different rays and spending different amounts of time in transit. The angles of rays' bending because of the nonlinearity of the electrodynamics of the vacuum and the delay time of the electromagnetic signal carried by one normal wave relative to the other normal wave are calculated. The magnitude of these effects is evaluated.Résumé : Utilisant la méthode de l'eikonale, nous construisons des équations différentielles pour décrire des faisceaux d'ondes électromagnétiques dans les champs magnétique et gravitationnel d'un pulsar, en accord avec l'électrodynamique du vide. Intégrer ces équations par approximations successives nous permet de trouver les équations des rayons (lumineux) et les lois du mouvement sous forme paramétrique pour ces impulsions électromagnétiques. Nous trouvons que les impulsions électromag-nétiques passant à travers le champ magnétique du pulsar, se propagent sous la forme de deux ondes normales vers le détecteur en suivant deux rayons différents, en des temps différents. Les angles de fléchissement des rayons proviennent de l'électrodynamique non linéaire du vide et nous calculons le délai en temps entre les deux ondes. Nous évaluons la grandeur de ces effets.
