*Analog Hawking radiation from an acoustic black hole in a flowing polariton superuid* We theoretically study Hawking radiation processes from an analog acoustic black hole in a flowing superuid of exciton-polaritons in a one-dimensional semiconductor microcavity. Polaritons are coherently injected into the microcavity by a laser pump with a suitably tailored spot profile. An event horizon with a large analog surface gravity is created by inserting a defect in the polariton flow along the cavity plane. Experimentally observable signatures of the analog Hawking radiation are identified in the scattering of phonon wavepackets of the horizon, as well as in the spatial crelation pattern of quantum uctuations of the polariton density. The potential of these table-top optical systems as analog models of gravitational physics is quantitatively con rmed by numerical calculations using realistic parameters for state-of-the-art devices.
