Is space-time symmetry a suitable generalization of parity-time symmetry?
We discuss space-time symmetric Hamiltonian operators of the form H = H0+igH ′, whereH0 is Hermitian and g real. H0 is invariant under the unitary operations of a point group G while H ′ is invariant under transformation by elements of a subgroup G′ of G. If G exhibits irreducible representations of dimension greater than unity, then it is possible that H has complex eigenvalues for sufficientl...
متن کاملSingle-mode laser by parity-time symmetry breaking.
Effective manipulation of cavity resonant modes is crucial for emission control in laser physics and applications. Using the concept of parity-time symmetry to exploit the interplay between gain and loss (i.e., light amplification and absorption), we demonstrate a parity-time symmetry-breaking laser with resonant modes that can be controlled at will. In contrast to conventional ring cavity lase...
متن کاملLocalized Single Frequency Lasing States in a Finite Parity-Time Symmetric Resonator Chain
In this paper a practical case of a finite periodic Parity Time chain made of resonant dielectric cylinders is considered. The paper analyzes a more general case where PT symmetry is achieved by modulating both the real and imaginary part of the material refractive index along the resonator chain. The band-structure of the finite periodic PT resonator chains is compared to infinite chains in or...
متن کاملObservation of parity–time symmetry in optics
One of the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics is associated with the Hermiticity of physical observables1. In the case of the Hamiltonian operator, this requirement not only implies real eigenenergies but also guarantees probability conservation. Interestingly, a wide class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians can still show entirely real spectra. Among these are Hamiltonians respecting parity–ti...
متن کاملPseudo-parity-time symmetry in optical systems.
We introduce a novel concept of the pseudo-parity-time (pseudo-PT) symmetry in periodically modulated optical systems with balanced gain and loss. We demonstrate that whether or not the original system is PT symmetric, we can manipulate the property of the PT symmetry by applying a periodic modulation in such a way that the effective system derived by the high-frequency Floquet method is PT sym...
