Title: | Anomalous light scattering by topological PT-symmetric particle arrays | Authors: | Ling, CW Choi, KH Mok, TC Zhang, ZQ Fung, KH |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | Scientific reports, 2016, v. 6, no. 1, 38049, p. 1-12 | Abstract: | Robust topological edge modes may evolve into complex-frequency modes when a physical system becomes non-Hermitian. We show that, while having negligible forward optical extinction cross section, a conjugate pair of such complex topological edge modes in a non-Hermitian PT-symmetric system can give rise to an anomalous sideway scattering when they are simultaneously excited by a plane wave. We propose a realization of such scattering state in a linear array of subwavelength resonators coated with gain media. The prediction is based on an analytical two-band model and verified by rigorous numerical simulation using multiple-multipole scattering theory. The result suggests an extreme situation where leakage of classical information is unnoticeable to the transmitter and the receiver when such a PT-symmetric unit is inserted into the communication channel. | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Journal: | Scientific reports | EISSN: | 2045-2322 | DOI: | 10.1038/srep38049 | Rights: | © The Author(s) 2016 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
