Interference phenomena in the asymmetric dynamical Casimir effect for a single $δ-δ^{\prime}$ mirror

Abstract: The interaction between the quantum vacuum and time-dependent boundaries can produce particles via the dynamical Casimir effect. It is known that, for asymmetric Casimir systems, there is an imbalance in the particle production on either side of the boundary. Here, we consider a real massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions interacting with a moving $\delta-\delta^{\prime}$ mirror with time-dependent properties. The spectral distribution and particle creation rate are computed, which now include an additional interference term that can affect different parts of the spectrum in a constructive or destructive manner. The asymmetry of the system is investigated by analyzing the difference in particle spectra produced on the two sides of the mirror. Additionally, we also explore enhancement of the spectrum and its asymmetry within the context of a stationary $\delta-\delta^{\prime}$ mirror subject to multiple fluctuation sources.
