Abstract

Integrating equations of particle-number and energy-momentum conservation and Maxwell field equations, we study the oscillation and drift of electron and positron pairs coherently with fields after these pairs are produced in external electromagnetic fields. From the electric current of oscillating pairs, we obtain the energy spectrum of electromagnetic dipole radiation. This narrow spectrum is so peculiar that the detection of such radiation can identify pair production and oscillation in strong laser fields. We also obtain the energy spectrum of gravitational quadrapole radiation from the energy-momentum tensor of oscillating pairs and fields. Thus, we discuss the generation of gravitational waves on the basis of the rapid development of strong laser fields.
