External electromagnetic fields significantly enhance the Vavilov-Cherenkov effect in specific media. This research shows a potential for a one to two orders of magnitude increase in emission yield, particularly in cuprous oxide.

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Optics
  • Condensed Matter Physics

Background:

  • The Vavilov-Cherenkov effect describes light emission from charged particles in a medium.
  • Understanding this effect in complex media like dispersive and resonant absorbing materials is crucial.
  • External electromagnetic fields are known to influence optical phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the modification of the Vavilov-Cherenkov effect by external electromagnetic fields.
  • To explore the potential for enhancing the emission yield in such systems.
  • To provide numerical evidence for these predicted modifications.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of the Vavilov-Cherenkov effect in a dispersive and resonant absorbing medium.
  • Incorporation of an external electromagnetic field into the theoretical model.

  • Numerical estimations using cuprous oxide (Cu2O) as a representative material.

    • Main Results:

    • The presence of an external electromagnetic field substantially modifies the Vavilov-Cherenkov effect.
    • A remarkable increase in emission yield is predicted at resonance, dependent on field parameters.
    • Numerical results for Cu2O show a yield enhancement of one to two orders of magnitude compared to the field-free case.

    Conclusions:

    • External electromagnetic fields offer a powerful tool to control and enhance the Vavilov-Cherenkov emission.
    • The findings suggest potential applications in manipulating light emission processes in resonant absorbing media.
    • Cuprous oxide serves as a promising material for observing these enhanced effects.
