Scattering properties of a PT dipole

Abstract

Electromagnetic response of PT-dipole is studied both analytically and numerically. In analytical approach, dipole is represented by two point scatterers. Within the first Born approximation, the asymmetry of the scattering field with respect to the orientation of dipole is proven. In numerical simulations, dipole is represented by two infinitely long, parallel cylinders with opposite sign of imaginary part of refractive index. Numerical data confirm the validity of the Born approximation in the weak scattering limit, while significant deviations from the Born approximation were observed for stronger scatterers and in the near-field range.
