Abstract Electromagnetic (EM) absorption is the basic characteristic of materials that plays an important role in many applications such as solar cells, EM radiation protection, and stealth technology. However, under normal circumstances, the traditional medium's absorption efficiency of EM waves is limited, but the designer can operate by adjusting the structure of the medium. In this paper, the coherent perfect absorption (CPA) is introduced in the one-dimensional (1-D) non-magnetized plasma photonic crystals. Under the premise that the selected material meets the conditions (appropriate thickness and dielectric constant), the absorption amplitude at the frequency point that meets the coherent absorption conditions is greatly improved. The results show that the forward and backward EM waves that meet the CPA conditions and propagate in PPCs can increase the absorption to 99.94% and change the phase difference of the two coherent beams to control the adjustment range of the absorption efficiency to 12.60%-99.94%. In addition, the effects of plasma and collision frequency on the absorption property, and the effects of the periodic constant of dielectric layers and plasma thickness on the frequency and amplitude of coherent absorption are also presented. It is foreseeable that the idea of tunability of light absorption in photovoltaic cells is proposed in this paper, and the application of absorbers in the field of optical switching and light modulation has been further expanded.

We explored exceptional points (EPs) in one dimensional non-Hermitian photonic crystals incorporated with a defect. The defect was asymmetric with respect to the center. Two EPs could be derived by modulating the normalized frequency and the gain-loss coefficient of defect. The reflection coefficient complex phase changed dramatically around EPs, and the change in complex phase was π at EPs. The electric field of EPs was mainly restricted to the defect, which can induce a giant Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift. Moreover, we found a coherent perfect absorption-laser point (CPA-LP) in the structure. A giant GH shift also existed around the CPA-LP. The study may have found applications in highly sensitive sensors.

ABSTRACTWe develop a simple, one-dimensional, analytical model, which describes electron transport in gallium nitride. We focus on the polar optical phonon scattering mechanism, as this is the dominant energy loss mechanism at room temperature. Equating the power gained from the field with that lost through scattering, we demonstrate that beyond a critical electric field, 114 kV/cm at T = 300 K, the power gained from the field exceeds that lost due to polar optical phonon scattering. This polar optical phonon instability leads to a dramatic increase in the electron energy, this being responsible for the onset of intervalley transitions. The predictions of our analytical model are compared with those of Monte Carlo simulations, and are found to be in satisfactory agreement.
