Derivation of Hawking radiation in dispersive dielectric media
Derivation of Hawking radiation in dispersive dielectric media
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 model (one pair of Sellmeier coefficients), we perform an analytic and fully relativistic microscopic derivation of the analog of Hawking radiation …
