Explore the first lessons learned from experiments on the fibre-optical analogue of the event horizon, including white holes, hydrodynamics, and quantum optics. Discover the possibility of tracing waves backwards in time, artificial event horizons in superfluid helium and optical fibers, and the potential for black-hole lasers. Join the search for Hawking radiation in fibres and the development of UV detectors for correlation measurement. An outlook on transitioning from telecommunication to horizons awaits.
