摘要：

We consider a single perfectly reflecting plane mirror moving in the vacuum of the electromagnetic field, in the nonrelativistic approximation. We calculate the frequency and angular spectra of the emitted radiation, Photons are created in pairs, implying some simple and general properties of the spectra. In the case of TM-polarized photons, the angular distribution is concentrated on a particular direction that depends on the photon frequency, whereas TE photons are smoothly distributed around the direction perpendicular to the surface or the mirror. The total radiated energy is shown to be related to thr dissipative force exerted on the mirror, in agreement with energy conservation.
