Čerenkov radiation in vacuum from a superluminal grating

Nothing can physically travel faster than light in vacuum. There are several ways proposed to bypass the light barrier and produce Čerenkov radiation (ČR) in vacuum. In this paper, we theoretically predict ČR in vacuum from a spatiotemporally modulated boundary. We consider the modulation of traveli...
