The study investigates unidirectional reflectionless light propagation in a waveguide coupled to gain and loss resonators. Results show total reflection and coherent perfect absorption can be achieved under specific conditions. The proposed metal-insulator-metal non-parity-time symmetric plasmonic waveguide demonstrates unidirectional plasmonic propagation and CPA, with theoretical results aligning with finite-difference time-domain simulations.
The unidirectional reflectionless (UR) light propagation is investigated in the waveguide coupled to gain and loss resonators by using a developed coupled mode-scattering matrix theory. The results show that there is almost no reflection in the case of the backward incidence, but total reflection in the case of the forward incidence under the condition of balancing gain and loss in the gain resonator for the proposed waveguide when the indirect coupling phase theta ranges from 0.8 rad to 2.3 rad and from 4 rad to 5.5 rad. Moreover, the coherent perfect absorption (CPA) can be observed at the same time. Especially, the UR light propagation appears when the absolute value of detuning delta is smaller than 1 x 10(13) rad s(-1). Based on the findings above, we propose a metal-insulator-metal non-parity-time symmetric plasmonic waveguide and obtain the UR plasmonic propagation and CPA. The theoretical results are in excellent agreement with the finite-difference time-domain simulations. These results will provide a new pathway for the realization of unidirectional propagation and absorption of light at the nanoscale.
