Abstract

Radiation from a charged particle moving in a medium with Maxwell fish eye refraction index profile is considered. It is shown that the radiation spectrum has a discrete character. The main emitted wavelength is proportional to the refractive profiles radius and has a dipole character in a regular medium. Cherenkov like threshold velocity is established. A cardinal rearrangement of angular distribution in a lossless medium is predicted. This behavior is caused by the total internal reflection in a lossless medium as opposed to photons attenuated total reflection in the regular medium. Lossless medium ensures that both directed and monochromatic emission can serve as a light source in the corresponding regions.
