On the Generation and Detection of High-Frequency Gravitational Waves Optically Excited in Dielectric Media

详细

The possibility of generating and detecting high-frequency gravitational waves based on nonlinear-optical processes in dielectric media at their excitation by intense laser radiation of visible or ultraviolet ranges is analyzed. The theory predicts the feasibility of the Hertz gravitational laboratory experiment in which the parametric conversion of intense laser radiation with frequency ω₀ = 2πf₀ (f₀ = 10¹⁴ − 10¹⁵ Hz) to a gravitational wave with frequency ω_g = 2ω₀ and the reverse process of gravitational radiation reconversion to optical radiation are implemented in the condensed dielectric medium.
