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 …

Observation of perfectly-chiral exceptional point via bound state in the continuum

Z Zhou, B Jia, N Wang, X Wang, Y Li - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Chirality is one of the fundamentals of nature with strong ties to asymmetry. In wave physics,
it is conventionally characterized by asymmetric scattering of circularly polarized waves but …

Unidirectional wave vector manipulation in two-dimensional space with an all passive acoustic parity-time-symmetric metamaterials crystal

T Liu, X Zhu, F Chen, S Liang, J Zhu - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
Exploring the concept of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians respecting parity-time symmetry with

Non-Hermitian optics in atomic systems

Z Zhang, D Ma, J Sheng, Y Zhang… - Journal of Physics B …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
A wide class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians can possess entirely real eigenvalues when
they have parity-time (PT) symmetric potentials. Recently, this family of non-Hermitian …

Extremely asymmetrical acoustic metasurface mirror at the exceptional point

X Wang, X Fang, D Mao, Y **g, Y Li - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Previous research has attempted to minimize the influence of loss in reflection-and
transmission-type acoustic metasurfaces. This Letter shows that, by treating the acoustic …
