摘要
As an alternative to the sonic black hole analogs we discuss a different scenario for modeling the Schwarzschild geometry in a laboratory-the dielectric black hole. The dielectric analog of the horizon occurs if the velocity of a medium with a finite permittivity exceeds the speed of light in that medium. The relevance for experimental tests of the Hawking effect and possible implications are addressed.
