Hysteretic effects accompanying reflection of waves by absorbing media

M. Yu. Glotova, M. A. Zuev, Aleksandr B Shvartsburg

A realistic model of a nonlinear medium allowing for linear and nonlinear absorption was used to determine the conditions for amplitude and phase bistability of a reflected wave field. The dependence of the phase hysteresis of the reflected wave on the dissipative properties of the boundary of the medium was analyzed. It was noted that these effects may be applied to control radiation fluxes and to monitor the parameters of the medium.

The features of Gaussian pulse reflection from a nonlinear medium with the resonance frequency dependence of permittivity are investigated. The results of numerical analysis of the equations describing the light-field distribution in reflected pulses with s and p polarizations are presented. The influence of the intensity, incidence angle, carrier frequency, and incident-pulse duration on the reflected pulse envelope shape is discussed.

Backward lasing yields a perfect absorber

Stefano Longhi

Just as a laser can emit coherent light from an amplifying medium, an absorbing medium can perfectly capture incoming radiation under the right conditions.
