Dielectric black holes induced by a refractive index perturbation and the Hawking effect
arXiv:1003.4150 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.83.024015
Abstract
We consider a 4D model for photon production induced by a %superluminal refractive index perturbation in a dielectric medium. We show that, in this model, we can infer the presence of a Hawking type effect. This prediction shows up both in the analogue Hawking framework, which is implemented in the pulse frame and relies on the peculiar properties of the effective geometry in which quantum fields propagate, as well as in the laboratory frame, through standard quantum field theory calculations. Effects of optical dispersion are also taken into account, and are shown to provide a limited energy bandwidth for the emission of Hawking radiation.
arXiv commentSeveral improvements, also including dispersion, have been considered
