Random Matrix Theory Approach to Chaotic Coherent Perfect Absorbers

Abstract

We employ Random Matrix Theory in order to investigate coherent perfect absorption (CPA) in lossy systems with complex internal dynamics. The loss strength ${\gamma }_{\mathrm{CPA}}$ and energy $E_{\mathrm{CPA}}$, for which a CPA occurs are expressed in terms of the eigenmodes of the isolated cavity -- thus carrying over the information about the chaotic nature of the target -- and their coupling to a finite number of scattering channels. Our results are tested against numerical calculations using complex networks of resonators and chaotic graphs as CPA cavities.
