Antilaser: resonance absorption mode or coherent perfect absorption?

Nikolay N. Rosanov

Published Nov 23, 2016• 9 citations

Abstract

Abstract The main idea of the recent studies of ‘coherent perfect absorption’ is shown to coincide with that published in 1962 by A P Khapalyuk. Generalizing this approach to the case of layered systems with alternating absorbing and amplifying media requires a more thorough analysis of possible instabilities.

Observation of Coherent Perfect Absorption in Resonant Organic Materials

By judiciously devising mirror reflectivities of a cavity containing an absorber, we experimentally demonstrate coherent perfect absorption in a resonant organic dye, even though the material’s intrinsic absorption significantly varies across the dye absorption bandwidth.

Laser without inversion: a useful concept?

Paul Mandel

The modern concept of amplification and laser generation of coherent light without inversion is considered in the context of the historical developments that led to the emergence of these ideas. The two main mechanisms of amplification without inversion and their theoretical formulation are discussed. A description of three experiments confirming the existence of these effects is given.

Optical coherent perfect absorption and amplification in a time-varying medium

Emanuele Galiffi, Anthony Harwood, Stefano Vezzoli +3 more

Abstract Time-invariant photonic structures amplify or absorb light based on their intrinsic material gain or loss. The coherent interference of multiple beams in space, e.g., in a resonator, can be exploited to tailor the wave interaction with material gain or loss, respectively maximizing lasing or coherent perfect absorption. By contrast, a time-varying system is not bound to conserve energy, even in the absence of material gain or loss, and can support amplification or absorption of a probe wave through parametric phenomena. Here, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally how a subwavelength film of indium tin oxide, whose bulk permittivity is homogeneously and periodically modulated via optical pumping, can be dynamically tuned to act both as a non-resonant amplifier and a perfect absorber, by manipulating the relative phase of two counterpropagating probe beams. This extends the concept of coherent perfect absorption to the temporal domain. We interpret this result as selective switching between the gain and loss modes present in the momentum bandgap of a periodically modulated medium. By tailoring the relative intensity of the two probes, high-contrast modulation can be achieved with up to 80% absorption and 400% amplification. Our results demonstrate control of gain and loss in time-varying media at optical frequencies and pave the way towards coherent manipulation of light in Floquet-engineered complex photonic systems.

Electromagnetic Eigenvalue Problems and Nonhermitian Effects in Linear and Saturable Scattering

William R. Sweeney

In this thesis we address a series of new problems in non-hermitian optical scattering with increasing degrees of complexity. We develop the theory of reflectionless scattering modes, introducing a novel and broad class of impedance-matched eigenproblems: for a given structure, find the incident wavefronts and frequencies which are not partially reflected, but are instead transmitted through the scatterer, or dissipated within it. We analyze the relevant symmetry properties, and find that they support exceptional points (EPs) which can be directly probed with steady-state excitation. We study degenerate coherent perfect absorption (CPA EP), which is a specific example of the new kind of EP mentioned above. We show that the CPA EP is chiral in a ring resonator, and use this to design a resonator which predominantly absorbs or reflects light, depending on the direction of incidence. We extend CPA from cavities with a linear dielectric response to include the saturating nonlinearity and dispersion of a two-level absorbing medium. We show that the SALT algorithm in the single-mode regime can also be used to find the saturable CPA modes through a simple mapping. We also clarify the bad-cavity limit of dispersive but linear CPA, identifying new modes that are hybrids of the cavity and atomic degrees of freedom. We present and solve the general problem of scattering from an arbitrary cavity with a saturable two-level amplifying or absorbing medium, generalizing the known phenomenology of bistability that has mainly been studied in structures with little or no spatial complexity. We carefully analyze the validity of approximations used for isolated resonances, and find that the previously used inverse single-pole approximation requires some modification for the case of scattering.

Viewpoint: 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.
