perpendicular to its surface. If the acceleration varies with time, the conductor will
generally emit or absorb photons (that is, exchange energy with the vacuum), even
though it is neutral. This is an example of the well-known quantum phenomenon of
parametric excitation. The parameters of the electromagnetic field oscillators (for
example, their frequency distribution function) change with time owing to the
acceleration of the mirror (Reference 91). This effect is known to be exceedingly small.
However, recent theoretical and technological developments suggest that laboratory
investigations of the dynamical Casimir effect will begin in the very near future
(Reference 74, 75).
