Probing Black-Hole Physics in the Laboratory Using High Intensity Femtosecond Lasers

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is shown how laboratory experiments performed with high intensity femtosecond lasers can probe the physics of black holes in the near-horizon regime. The acceleration generated by the high intensity laser ranging from 101310^{13}g to more than 101810^{18}g is identified with the gravitational acceleration at stretched horizons. In the black-hole's asymptotic region, the stretched-horizon-reflected light shows a measurable universal phase acceleration of c4/4GMc^4/4GM. PACS numbers: 04.70.Bw, 97.60.Lf, 52.40.Nk, 52.50.Jm
