We theoretically examine the behaviour of Cherenkov radiation in a lossy, dispersive and resonant medium when emission is assisted by an external electromagnetic field. Under the appropriate coherence conditions for Cherenkov emission, we anticipate a large increase of the emission yield at resonance. Our predictions are implemented by numerical estimates for cuprous oxide (Cu2O).

Abstract
We theoretically examine the behaviour of Cherenkov radiation in a lossy, dispersive and resonant medium when emission is assisted by an external electromagnetic field. Under the appropriate coherence conditions for Cherenkov emission, we anticipate a large increase of the emission yield at resonance. Our predictions are implemented by numerical estimates for cuprous oxide (Cu2O).File in questo prodotto:
