  • The Hawking effect amplifies fluctuations in the vicinity of horizons, both in black holes and in analogue platforms. Here, we consider a polariton simulator and numerically examine the \emph{stimulated} Hawking effect using a coherent probe incident on the horizon from the exterior. We implement an experimentally realistic effective spacetime that supports a quasinormal mode (QNM) in the vicinity of the horizon. We find that the stimulated Hawking effect manifests as transmission into a negative-energy Bogoliubov channel inside the horizon, consistent with pseudo-unitary Bogoliubov scattering. Moreover, transmission across the horizon peaks at the QNM frequency. The computed spectral signatures provide a practical guide for future experimental investigations of the Hawking effect and its interplay with QNMs, an open question in quantum field theory in curved spacetime.
