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.

An original poling method using purely optical means and based on a dual-frequency interference process is presented. We show that the coherent superposition of two beams at fundamental and second-harmonic frequencies results in a polar field with an irreducible rotational spectrum containing both a vector and an octupolar component. This enables the method to be applied even to molecules without a permanent dipole such as octupolar molecules. After a theoretical analysis of the process, we describe different experiments aiming at light-induced noncentrosymmetry performed respectively on one-dimensional Disperse Red 1 and octupolar Ethyl Violet molecules. Macroscopic octupolar patterning of the induced order is demonstrated in both transient and permanent regimes. Experimental results show good agreement with theory.

AbstractThis paper proposes a new framework for categorizing approaches to the history of political thought. Previous categorizations exclude much research; political theory, if included, is often caricatured. And previous categorizations are one-dimensional, presenting different approaches as alternatives. My framework is two-dimensional, distinguishing six kinds of end (two empirical, four theoretical) and six kinds of means. Importantly, these choices are not alternatives: studies may have more than one end and typically use several means. Studies with different ends often use some of the same means. And all studies straddle the supposed empirical/theoretical “divide.” Quentin Skinner himself expertly combines empirical and theoretical analysis—yet the latter is often overlooked, not least because of Skinner's own methodological pronouncements. This highlights a curious disjuncture in methodological writings, between what they say we do, and what we should do. What we should do is much broader than existing categorizations imply.

Abstract Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) describes the absence of all outgoing modes from a lossy resonator, driven by lossless incoming modes. Here, we show that for nanoresonators that also exhibit radiative losses, e.g., plasmonic nanoantennas, a generalized version of CPA (gCPA) can be applied. In gCPA outgoing modes are suppressed only for a subset of (guided plasmonic) modes while other (radiative) modes are treated as additional loss channels - a situation typically referred to as perfect impedance matching. Here we make use of gCPA to show how to achieve perfect impedance matching between a single nanowire plasmonic waveguide and a plasmonic nanoantenna. Antennas with both radiant and subradiant characteristics are considered. We further demonstrate potential applications in background-free sensing.
