We investigate the coherent perfect absorption laser points (CPA-LPs) in anti-parity–time-symmetric photonic crystals. CPA-LPs, which correspond to the poles of reflection and transmission, can be found in the parameter space composed of gain–loss factor and angular frequency. Discrete exceptional points (EPs) split as the gain–loss factor increases. The CPA-LPs sandwiched between the EPs are proved to be defective modes. The localization of light field and the bulk effect of gain/loss in materials induce a sharp change in phase of the reflection coefficient near the CPA-LPs. Consequently, a large spatial Goos–Hänchen shift, which is proportional to the slope of phase, can be achieved around the CPA-LPs. The study may find great applications in highly sensitive sensors.

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.

This study investigates the reflectance of the defective mode (DM) and the lateral shift of reflected beam in defective photonic crystals incorporated with single-layer graphene by the transfer matrix method (TMM). Graphene, treated as an equivalent dielectric with a thickness of 0.34 nm, was embedded in the center of a defect layer. The reflectance of the DM was greatly enhanced as the intraband transition of electrons was converted to an interband transition in graphene. The reflectance of the DM could be further enhanced by increasing the Bragg periodic number. Furthermore, a large lateral shift of the reflected beam could also be induced around the DM. This study may find great applications in highly sensitive sensors.

Complex anti-parity-time symmetric periodic lattices, in a wide frequency band, can act as unidirectional invisible media. The reflection from one end is suppressed while it is enhanced from the other. Furthermore, unidirectional laser points (ULPs) which correspond to the poles of reflection from one end, arise in the parameter space composed of the permittivity and angular frequency. The phase of the reflection coefficient changes sharply near the ULPs. Subsequently, large lateral shift which is proportional to the slope of phase could be induced for the reflected beam. The study may find great applications in unidirectional invisibility, unidirectional lasers and highly sensitive sensors.

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.

AbstractThe perfect absorption of electromagnetic waves has promoted many applications, including photovoltaics, radar cloaking, and molecular detection. Unlike conventional methods of critical coupling that require asymmetric boundaries or coherent perfect absorption that require multiple coherent incident beams, here we demonstrate single-beam perfect absorption in an on-chip cavity magnonic device without breaking its boundary symmetry. By exploiting magnon-mediated interference between two internal channels, both reflection and transmission of our device can be suppressed to zero, resulting in magnon-induced nearly perfect absorption (MIPA). Such interference can be tuned by the strength and direction of an external magnetic field, thus showing versatile controllability. Furthermore, the same multi-channel interference responsible for MIPA also produces level attraction (LA)-like hybridization between a cavity magnon polariton mode and a cavity photon mode, demonstrating that LA-like hybridization can be surprisingly realized in a coherently coupled system.

Applying transfer matrix method, we get reflection and transmission coefficient of finite one dimensional photonic crystals. At the same time, we consider the position influence of single defect. We find the frequency of defect mode is same, but the height of transmission peak is not same when single defect is in different position of crystal. The transmission peak is maximum when the defect is in center of finite one dimensional photonic crystals.
