Ruling out stray thermal radiation in analogue black holes
  Experimental searches for the thermal radiation from analogue black holes require the measurement of very low temperatures in regimes where other thermal noises may interfere or even mimic the sought-after effect. In this letter, we parameterize the family of bosonic thermal channels which give rise to such thermal effects and show that by use of coherent states and homodyne detection one can rule out the non-Hawking contributions and identify those candidate sources which arise from Hawking-like processes.
