The theory of Hawking radiation can be tested in laboratory analogues of black holes. We use light pulses in nonlinear fiber optics to establish artificial event horizons. Each pulse generates a moving perturbation of the refractive index via the Kerr effect. Probe light perceives this as an event horizon when its group velocity, slowed down by the perturbation, matches the speed of the pulse. We have observed in our experiment that the probe stimulates Hawking radiation, which occurs in a regime of extreme nonlinear fiber optics where positive and negative frequencies mix.

Robustness of analogue Hawking radiation in cavities with moving boundaries
Thermal Hawking-like radiation in moving-mirror cavities is robust only for selected expanding configurations and low frequencies; all other configurations tested show non-thermal spectra.

Island of acoustic black hole in Schwarzschild spacetime
For a Schwarzschild-surrounded acoustic black hole, phonon entanglement entropy follows a Page curve in the non-extremal case but diverges (no Page time) in the extremal case, according to the island formula.

Dynamical analog spacetimes from nonlinear perturbations in a topological material
A nonlinear acoustic metric and microkelvin Hawking temperature are claimed for Berry-curvature-modified graphene electron flow, but the derivation is incomplete and the temperature has inconsistent units.
