Quasinormal mode and stability of optical black holes in moving dielectrics

Abstract

We study the quasinormal mode and stability of optical black holes in moving dielectrics. The results show that the real part of complex frequencies is inversely proportional to but the absolute value of an imaginary part is proportional to a refractive index. We obtain the conditions for forming a black hole horizon in moving dielectrics. Moreover, we investigate the evolution behavior of optical black holes with respect to a refractive index at a high overtone number and find that an optical black hole undergoes one phase transition from an unstable mode to a stable one when the refractive index is big enough.
