Enhanced dynamical Casimir effect for surface and guided waves

A spontaneous emission of photon pairs in the metal–dielectric interface or waveguide, placed to a resonator and excited by laser light, is considered. The emission results from the laser-induced oscillations of the optical length of modes in resonator and is called the dynamical Casimir effect. It...

Description
Summary:A spontaneous emission of photon pairs in the metal–dielectric interface or waveguide, placed to a resonator and excited by laser light, is considered. The emission results from the laser-induced oscillations of the optical length of modes in resonator and is called the dynamical Casimir effect. It was found that in case the amplitude of these oscillations coincides with the excitation wavelength, and a resonant enhancement of the emission takes place. This opens new possibilities of converting photons to their pairs.
