Wave propagation, bi-directional reflectionless, and coherent perfect absorption-lasing in finite periodic PT-symmetric photonic systems

Jeng Yi Lee et al.

Summary: With consideration of PT symmetry, Lorentz reciprocity theorem, and real Bloch phase, this work proposes a generalized parametric space to comprehensively illustrate the PT phase transition, Bloch phase, and necessary conditions of exotic wave scattering in finite periodic PT photonic structures. Parametrization is used to derive analytical formulas for the complex relative permittivities of the unit cells composed of subwavelength gain-loss heterostructures, providing a guideline for manipulating different PT scattering events. Several one-dimensional PT photonic systems are studied to achieve exotic wave scattering enabled by PT symmetry. This work offers a theoretical underpinning for studying extraordinary wave phenomena in PT-symmetric photonics and opens avenues for manipulation of light.

Quenching of second-harmonic generation by epsilon-near-zero media

Chenglin Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the second-harmonic generation (SHG) from a tiny nonlinear particle can be greatly suppressed when placed near a subwavelength epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) particle. This quenching effect is due to the prohibition of electric fields near the ENZ particle caused by evanescent scattering waves, which is universal in both isotropic and anisotropic ENZ particles regardless of their shapes. Based on this principle, a dynamically controllable optical metasurface with switchable SHG quenching effect is proposed. This work enriches the understanding of optical nonlinearity with ENZ media and could have applications in optical switches and modulators.

Hermitian and Non-Hermitian Dirac-Like Cones in Photonic and Phononic Structures

Jie Luo et al.

Summary: Accidental degeneracy plays a vital role in the generation of novel band dispersions. Structures exhibiting accidental Dirac-like conical dispersion at the center of the Brillouin zone can have unique features, such as zero-index behavior and wave tunneling. Introduction of non-Hermiticity in the system can lead to appearance of exceptional points and various other unique dispersions. Similar phenomena are observed in phononic structures.

Dispersion coding of ENZ media via multiple photonic dopants

Ziheng Zhou et al.

Summary: In this work, the researchers demonstrate the comb-like dispersion of effective permeability in an Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) medium comprising multiple dielectric photonic dopants. They also show that resonant supercouplings can be controlled via the assignment of dopants. The concept of dispersion coding is proposed, where photonic dopants serve as bits to program the spectral response of the whole composite medium. A compact multi-doped ENZ cavity is fabricated and experimentally characterized as proof of concept, showing potential for applications including dynamically tunable comb-like dispersion profiled filters and radio-frequency identification tags.

Massively degenerate coherent perfect absorber for arbitrary wavefronts

Yevgeny Slobodkin et al.

Summary: One of the key insights of non-Hermitian photonics is the concept of coherent perfect absorber (CPA), which can be achieved by reversing the operation of well-established concepts like lasers. This study demonstrates the possibility of overcoming the limitation of CPA by time-reversing a degenerate cavity laser based on a unique cavity that self-images any incident light field onto itself. The results show that placing a weak, critically coupled absorber into this cavity allows for nearly perfect absorption of any incoming wavefront, even complex and dynamically varying speckle patterns. This opens up new possibilities for applications in light harvesting, energy delivery, light control, and imaging.
