On active drains and causality

arXiv:1008.2088 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.82.055804

Abstract

The concept of an \emph{active drain} has been used recently to provide an optical element which manages to perfectly sink incoming electromagnetic radiation. Here I show that without prior knowledge of the incoming signal, an element attempting respond as an active localized drain cannot succeed.
