Analogue black holes for light rays in static dielectrics. (English) Zbl 1301.83018

The authors analyze properties of light propagation in nonlinear media using the geometrical optics technique. The derived analytical results allow for effective optical metric interpretation and setting up a justified analogue model of spherically symmetric black hole solutions.
