Emission by a faster-than-light moving source

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Superluminal sources (SLS) are sources whose propagation velocity can be designed to exceed the speed of light in medium or in vacuum. Examples of SLS are oblique intersection of a pulse of light and a screen,1 moving foci produced during self-focusing of short pulses,2 and polarization/ excitation of medium.3,4 The motion of SLS does not violate causality since they do not transfer information or energy.
