Abstract

We consider a simple model for a black-hole laser: a Bose-Einstein condensate with uniform speed of sound and partially uniform flow, establishing two horizons, a black-hole and a white-hole horizon. Waves confined between the horizons are amplified similar to radiation in a laser cavity. Black-hole lasing appears as an instability with discrete sets of modes given approximately by a round-trip condition. We found that, in addition to the regular Hawking radiation, trans-Planckian radiation does tunnel out of the black-hole laser.
