Description
I will present the parametric resonance excitation of an electromagnetic field by a gravitational wave. The former is exponentially amplified, while the latter is damped. This mechanism takes place in the framework of Einstein gravity and might happen in different configurations. In a medium with the speed of light smaller than 1, in natural units, the conversion might happen in the first resonance band, while in the vacuum it occurs in the second resonance band.
