Unidirectional light propagation at exceptional points.
The magic garment worn by the fictional wizard Harry Potter makes him invisible and simultaneously allows him to see the outside world. The concept of this type of invisibility cloak has captured the imagination for centuries and has inspired many recent explorations in the field of optics. Making such a fictional garment is indeed a grand challenge: when invisible to the outside observer, the ...
متن کاملSwitching of the direction of reflectionless light propagation at exceptional points in non-PT-symmetric structures using phase-change materials.
We introduce a non-parity-time-symmetric three-layer structure, consisting of a gain medium layer sandwiched between two phase-change medium layers for switching of the direction of reflectionless light propagation. We show that for this structure unidirectional reflectionlessness in the forward direction can be switched to unidirectional reflectionlessness in the backward direction at the opti...
متن کاملResonance scattering at third-order exceptional points
We analyze scattering cross sections at and near third-order exceptional points (EP3), i.e., points in physical parameter space where three energies and eigenfunctions coincide. At an EP3, the Green’s function contains a pole of third order, in addition to poles of second and first order. We show that the interference of the three pole terms produces a rich variety of line shapes at the excepti...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of a unidirectional reflectionless parity-time metamaterial at optical frequencies.
Invisibility by metamaterials is of great interest, where optical properties are manipulated in the real permittivity-permeability plane. However, the most effective approach to achieving invisibility in various military applications is to absorb the electromagnetic waves emitted from radar to minimize the corresponding reflection and scattering, such that no signal gets bounced back. Here, we ...
متن کاملNonlinear propagation of light in structured media: Generalized unidirectional pulse propagation equations.
Unidirectional pulse propagation equations [UPPE, Phys. Rev. E 70, 036604 (2004)] have provided a theoretical underpinning for computer-aided investigations into dynamics of high-power ultrashort laser pulses and have been successfully utilized for almost a decade. Unfortunately, they are restricted to applications in bulk media or, with additional approximations, to simple waveguide geometries...
