Observation of stimulated Hawking radiation in an optical analogue

J Drori, Y Rosenberg, D Bermudez, Y Silberberg… - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
The theory of Hawking radiation can be tested in laboratory analogues of black holes. We
use light pulses in nonlinear fiber optics to establish artificial event horizons. Each pulse …

Nonlinear optics of fibre event horizons

KE Webb, M Erkintalo, Y Xu, NGR Broderick… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
The nonlinear interaction of light in an optical fibre can mimic the physics at an event
horizon. This analogue arises when a weak probe wave is unable to pass through an …

Quantum aspects of stimulated Hawking radiation in an optical analog white-black hole pair

I Agullo, AJ Brady, D Kranas - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
This Letter introduces a synergistic combination of analytical and numerical methods to
study the Hawking effect in optical systems containing the analog of a white-black hole pair …

Symplectic circuits, entanglement, and stimulated Hawking radiation in analogue gravity

AJ Brady, I Agullo, D Kranas - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We introduce a convenient set of analytical tools (the Gaussian formalism) and diagrams
(symplectic circuits) to analyze multimode scattering events in analogue gravity, such as pair …

Optical analogues of black-hole horizons

Y Rosenberg - … Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
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 …

Derivation of Hawking radiation in dispersive dielectric media

MF Linder, R Schützhold, WG Unruh - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
Motivated by recent experimental efforts, we study a black hole analog induced by the
propagation of a strong laser pulse in a nonlinear dielectric medium. Based on the Hopfield …

Hawking radiation in optics and beyond

R Aguero-Santacruz… - … Transactions of the …, 2020 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Hawking radiation was originally proposed in astrophysics, but it has been generalized and
extended to other physical systems receiving the name of analogue Hawking radiation. In …

Magnon pair emission from a relativistic domain wall in antiferromagnets

G Tatara, CA Akosa, RM Otxoa de Zuazola - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Magnon emission and excitation by a relativistic domain wall at a constant velocity in
antiferromagnets is theoretically studied. A pair emission due to a quadratic magnon …

Exact solutions for analog Hawking effect in dielectric media

S Trevisan, F Belgiorno, SL Cacciatori - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In the framework of the analog Hawking radiation for dielectric media, we analyze a toy
model and also the 2D reduction of the Hopfield model for a specific monotone and realistic …

Quantum vacuum emission from a refractive-index front

M Jacquet, F König - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
A moving boundary separating two otherwise homogeneous regions of a dielectric is known
to emit radiation from the quantum vacuum. An analytical framework based on the Hopfield …
