Abstract
Vavilov–Cherenkov radiation (CR), an electromagnetic radiation emission that occurs when a charged particle in a medium moves faster than the speed of light in the same medium, plays an important role in many areas of physics such as nuclear physics. Recently, CR has been investigated in photonics and plasmonics in the perspective of its application in velocity-dependent particle detection to enhance current particle detectors, thanks to the flexibility that offer integrated devices. In this contribution, the description of the excitation of eigenmodes in different integrated photonic and plasmonic structures by a uniformly moving charged particle is numerically presented. The CR that arise from such an interaction is described within the framework of an eigenmode analysis and validated with source and field propagation with the use of the finite-difference time-domain method. Integrated nanophotonics could provide a promising platform for the investigation of the interaction between electrons and photons on-chip.
