Abstract Reasoning by analogies permeates theoretical developments in physics and
astrophysics, motivated by the unreachable nature of many phenomena at play. For …

Optical solitons or solitonlike states shed light to blueshifted frequencies through a resonant
emission process. We predict a mechanism by which a second propagating mode is …

We study the quantum fluctuations in a one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate realizing
an analogous acoustic black hole. The taking into account of evanescent channels and of …

Intense pulses of light may be used to create an effective flowing medium which mimics
certain properties of black hole physics. It is possible to create the analogues of black and …

We propose an experiment to test the effects of gravity and acceleration on quantum
entanglement in space-based setups. We show that the entanglement between excitations …

Solitons are of fundamental importance in photonics due to applications in optical data
transmission and also as a tool for investigating novel phenomena ranging from light …

Hawking radiation is unlikely to be measured from a real black hole, but can be tested in
laboratory analogues. It was predicted as a consequence of quantum mechanics and …

Temporal total internal reflection (TIR), in analogy to the conventional TIR of an optical beam
at a dielectric interface, is the total reflection of an optical pulse inside a dispersive medium …

Using numerical simulations we show how to realize an optical black hole laser, ie an
amplifier formed by travelling refractive index perturbations arranged so as to trap light …
