Since an acceleration g =980 cm/sec 2 produces a radiation temperature of only ∼4×10 -20 K; the detection of such thermal radiation is a major challenge. A nonlinear optical medium whose index of refraction is changing rapidly with time accelerates zero-point quantum fluctuations. The sudden ionization of a gas or a semiconductor crystal to generate a plasma on a subpicosecond time scale can produce a reference frame accelerating at ∼10 20 g relative to an inertial frame.

We have studied the spontaneous emission of light from electron-hole recombination in optically thin GaAs double heterostructures. The electron-hole radiative recombination rate coefficient B is not purely a property of the GaAs itself; but depends strongly on the optical-mode density and refractive index of the medium in which it is immersed. The spontaneous-emission rate can be markedly increased or decreased depending on whether the surrounding refractive index is higher or lower than that of GaAs.
