Optical nonlinear effects and photon pair production in modulated materials
According to quantum field theory an oscillation of boundary conditions in the vacuum can generate real photon pairs, which pop into existence from the zero-point energy. This surprising effect is known as the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE). In this thesis, we focus our attention on using the DCE as...
