Abstract: In this paper closed string emission and open string pair production from the light-like rolling tachyon solution are calculated in subcritical string theory in the background of a linear dilaton. The rolling light-like tachyon represents the inhomogeneous decay of unstable D-brane. The decay rate is given by the imaginary part of annulus diagram which can be calculated using the boundary state/sigma-model method. It is found that the decay rate is finite in the open string ultraviolet region and depends on tachyon profile in the open string infrared region.
