Résumé

This book is part of a large and growing body of work on the observation of analogue gravity effects, such as Hawking radiation, in laboratory systems. The book is highly didactic, skillfully navigating between concepts ranging from quantum field theory on curved space-times, nonlinear fibre optics and the theoretical and experimental foundations in the physics of optical analogues to the Event Horizon. It presents a comprehensive field-theoretical framework for these systems, including the kinematics governing the fields. This allows an analytical calculation of the all-important conversion of vacuum fluctuations into Hawking radiation. Based on this, emission spectra are computed, providing unique insights into the emissions from a highly dispersive system. In an experimental part, the book develops a clear and systematic way to experimentally approach the problem and demonstrates the construction of an experimental setup and measurements of unprecedented sensitivity in the search for stimulation of the Hawking effect.
Introduction.- Theory of Spacetime Curvature in Optical fibres.- Spontaneous Emission of Light Quanta from the Vacuum.- Numerics.- Experimental Observation of Scattering at a Moving RIF.- Conclusion.

Maxime Jacquet received a PhD from the University of St Andrews in 2017 for a thesis on the theoretical and experimental investigation of light scattering at the optical horizon. He uses tools of quantum field theory on curved spacetimes, condensed matter, nonlinear optics and quantum optics to study the interplay between quantum physics and general relativity. He is also interested in the foundations of quantum physics, and researches the possibility to use the superposition principle, in conjunction with entanglement, to experimentally realise indefinite causal structures.
