Light Propagation in Non-Hermitian Optical Structures
This thesis incorporates the concept of light propagation in non-Hermitian media. We use the waveguide arrays and one dimensional photonic crystals as the frameworks for our investigations. The notion of non-Hermiticity is implemented into these structures by considering the fact that the electromagnetic parameters of an optical medium can contain imaginary components. These imaginary component...
متن کاملTopological Hermitian Cobordism
A decade ago, the authors [5] studied Real cobordismMR, anRO(Z/2)graded Z/2-equivariant spectrum discovered by Landweber [9], which is related to complex cobordismMU in the same way as Atiyah’s RealKtheory KR [1] does to K-theory. In particular, the authors computed the RO(Z/2)-graded coefficients of MR. A key step in that computation was the fact that MR is a complete Z/2-equivariant spectrum,...
متن کاملTopological transition in a non-Hermitian quantum walk.
We analyze a quantum walk on a bipartite one-dimensional lattice, in which the particle can decay whenever it visits one of the two sublattices. The corresponding non-Hermitian tight-binding problem with a complex potential for the decaying sites exhibits two different phases, distinguished by a winding number defined in terms of the Bloch eigenstates in the Brillouin zone. We find that the mea...
متن کاملRobust light transport in non-Hermitian photonic lattices
Combating the effects of disorder on light transport in micro- and nano-integrated photonic devices is of major importance from both fundamental and applied viewpoints. In ordinary waveguides, imperfections and disorder cause unwanted back-reflections, which hinder large-scale optical integration. Topological photonic structures, a new class of optical systems inspired by quantum Hall effect an...
متن کاملAdiabatic photo-steering theory in topological insulators
Feasible external control of material properties is a crucial issue in condensed matter physics. A new approach to achieving this aim, named adiabatic photo-steering, is reviewed. The core principle of this scheme is that several material constants are effectively turned into externally tunable variables by irradiation of monochromatic laser light. Two-dimensional topological insulators are sel...
