Cerenkov radiation in photonic crystals.
In a conventional material, the coherent Cerenkov radiation due to a moving charged particle is associated with a velocity threshold, a forward-pointing radiation cone, and a forward direction of emission. We describe different behavior for the Cerenkov radiation in a photonic crystal. In particular, this radiation is intrinsically coupled with transition radiation and is observable without any...
متن کاملCalibration sources of Cerenkov radiation
We report on attempts to construct and simulate low intensity sources of Cerenkov radiation with accurately known spectral intensity. These sources will be used to calibrate photomulti-pliers for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. We have used ^Sr as a radioactive beta source located at the center of a sphere of ultraviolet transparent acrylic. The production of Cerenkov radiation by stopping el...
متن کاملSpacetime Deformations and Electromagnetism in Material Media
This paper is intended to investigate the relation between electrodynamics in anisotropic material media and its analogous formulation in an spacetime, with non-null Riemann curvature tensor. After discussing the electromagnetism via chiral differential forms, we point out the optical activity of a given material medium, closely related to topological spin, and the Faraday rotation, associated ...
متن کاملCerenkov Radiation in a Lorentz-Violating and Birefringent Vacuum
We calculate the emission spectrum for vacuum Cerenkov radiation in Lorentz-violating extensions of electrodynamics. We develop an approach that works equally well if the presence or the absence of birefringence. In addition to confirming earlier work, we present the first calculation of the Cerenkov spectrum in the presence of a birefringent photon kF term. 1 [email protected]
متن کاملCerenkov radiation by charged particles in an external gravitational eld
Charged particles in the geodesic trajectory of an external gravitational eld do not emit electromagnetic radiation. This is expected from the application of the equivalence principle. We show here that charged particles propagating in an external gravitational eld with non-zero components of the Ricci tensor can emit radiation by the Cerenkov process. The external gravitational eld acts like a...
