Direct Backreaction of Hawking-like Radiation in a Photonic Horizon
A fibre-optic analogue of a black-hole horizon demonstrates a direct, simple mechanism for generating stimulated Hawking radiation and shows its backreaction on the propagating field. By combining experiment and theory, the work provides evidence that Hawking-like quanta can arise in lab systems and that the emitted radiation can influence the original optical field, offering insights relevant to both analogue gravity experiments and real black-hole physics.
