Quantum radiation from superluminal refractive index perturbations

arXiv:0910.3508 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.140403

Abstract

We analyze in detail photon production induced by a superluminal refractive index perturbation in realistic experimental operating conditions. The interaction between the refractive index perturbation and the quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field leads to the production of photon pairs.
