Unidirectional reflectionless light propagation at exceptional points

Y Huang, Y Shen, C Min, S Fan, G Veronis - Nanophotonics, 2017 - degruyter.com
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of unidirectional reflectionless light
propagation in photonic devices at exceptional points (EPs). EPs, which are branch point …

Controlled transport based on multiorbital Aharonov-Bohm photonic caging

G Cáceres-Aravena, D Guzmán-Silva, I Salinas… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The induction of synthetic magnetic fields on lattice structures allows an effective control of
their localization and transport properties. In this Letter, we generate effective π magnetic …

Pseudo-Hermiticity protects the energy-difference conservation in the scattering

HS Xu, L Jin - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
Symmetry plays a fundamentally important role in physics. In this work, we find a
conservation law, S†(H c†) S (H c)= I, which is valid for any non-Hermitian scattering center …

Incident direction independent wave propagation and unidirectional lasing

L Jin, Z Song - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We propose an incident direction independent wave propagation generated by properly
assembling different unidirectional destructive interferences (UDIs), which is a consequence …

Symmetry-protected scattering in non-Hermitian linear systems

L Jin, Z Song - Chinese Physics Letters, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Symmetry plays fundamental role in physics and the nature of symmetry changes in non-
Hermitian physics. Here the symmetry-protected scattering in non-Hermitian linear systems …

Theory of reflectionless scattering modes

WR Sweeney, CW Hsu, AD Stone - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We develop the theory of a special type of scattering state in which a set of asymptotic
channels is chosen as inputs, and the complementary set is chosen as outputs, and there is …

Chiral phase modulation and a tunable broadband perfect absorber using a coherent cold atomic ensemble

YX Wang, Y Zhang, L Du, JH Wu - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We investigate the two-channel nonreciprocal scattering of a coherent atomic ensemble
under the linear spatial Kramers-Kronig modulation, which has potential applications in …

Localization Dynamics at the Exceptional Point of Non-Hermitian Creutz Ladder

SM Zhang, TY He, L Jin - Chinese Physics Letters, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a quasi-one-dimensional non-Hermitian Creutz ladder with an entirely flat
spectrum by introducing alternating gain and loss components while maintaining inversion …

Unitary scattering protected by pseudo-hermiticity

L Jin - Chinese Physics Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Hermitian systems possess unitary scattering. However, the Hermiticity is unnecessary for a
unitary scattering although the scattering under the influence of non-Hermiticity is mostly non …

Exceptional points and scattering of discrete mechanical metamaterials

W Wang, AV Amirkhizi - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2022 - Springer
Exceptional points (EPs) are complex singularities of parametric linear operators where two
or more eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce. EPs are attracting increasing interest in …
