PT-symmetric scattering in flow duct acoustics
arXiv:1701.07618 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.174301
Abstract
We show theoretically and experimentally that the propagation of an acoustic wave in an airflow duct going through a pair of diaphragms, with equivalent amount of mean-flow-induced effective gain and loss, displays all the features of a parity-time (PT) symmetric system. Using a scattering matrix formalism, we observe experimentally the properties which reflect the PT-symmetry of the scattering acoustical system: the existence of a spontaneous symmetry breaking with symmetry-broken pairs of scattering eigenstates showing amplification and reduction, and the existence of points with unidirectional invisibility.
