Abstract

A two-photon emission of a medium with periodically time-dependent refractive index is considered. The emission results from the zero-point fluctuations of the medium. Usually this emission is very weak. However, it can be strongly enhanced if the resonant condition ω0 = 2.94 c/l0 is fulfilled (here ω0 and l0 are the frequency and the amplitude of the oscillations of the optical length of the medium, respectively). Besides, a medium with resonant oscillations of the optical length performs the phase conjugated reflection with high efficiency. A similar resonant enhancement of the two-quantum emission of other bosons is also predicted.
