Parity-time symmetric coupled microresonators with a dispersive gain/loss.

چکیده
The paper reports on the coupling of Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric whispering gallery resonators with realistic material and gain/loss models. Response of the PT system is analyzed for the case of low and high material and gain dispersion, and also for two practical scenarios when the pump frequency is not aligned with the resonant frequency of the desired whispering gallery mode and when there is imbalance in the gain/loss profile. The results show that the presence of dispersion and frequency misalignment causes skewness in frequency bifurcation and significant reduction of the PT breaking point, respectively. Finally, we demonstrate a lasing mode operation which occurs due to an early PT-breaking by increasing loss in a PT system with unbalanced gain and loss.

Optomechanically-induced transparency in parity-time-symmetric microresonators
Optomechanically-induced transparency (OMIT) and the associated slowing of light provide the basis for storing photons in nanoscale devices. Here we study OMIT in parity-time (PT)-symmetric microresonators with a tunable gain-to-loss ratio. This system features a sideband-reversed, non-amplifying transparency, i.e., an inverted-OMIT. When the gain-to-loss ratio is varied, the system exhibits a ...

This paper reports on the time-domain numerical model of a parity-time Bragg grating with saturated and dispersive gain. The model is compared against the ideal PT scenario where the gain is constant and unsaturated for all frequencies.
متن کاملParity–time symmetry and variable optical isolation in active–passive-coupled microresonators
Compound-photonic structures with gain and loss1 provide a powerful platform for testing various theoretical proposals on non-Hermitian parity–time-symmetric quantum mechanics2–5 and initiate new possibilities for shaping optical beams and pulses beyond conservative structures. Such structures can be designed as optical analogues of complex parity–timesymmetric potentials with real spectra. How...
متن کاملImpact of dispersive and saturable gain/loss on bistability of nonlinear parity-time Bragg gratings.
We report on the impact of realistic gain and loss models on the bistable operation of nonlinear parity-time (PT) Bragg gratings. In our model we include both dispersive and saturable gain and show that levels of gain/loss saturation can have a significant impact on the bistable operation of a nonlinear PT Bragg grating based on GaAs material. The hysteresis of the nonlinear PT Bragg grating is...
متن کاملBinary parity-time-symmetric nonlinear lattices with balanced gain and loss.
We study nonlinear binary arrays composed of parity-time-symmetric optical waveguides with gain and loss. We demonstrate that such nonlinear binary lattices support stable discrete solitons, which can be adiabatically tuned and switched through nonlinear symmetry breaking by varying gain and loss parameters.
