Abstract
In PT-symmetric gratings, asymmetric diffraction can be generated by modulating the ratio between imaginary and real refractive indices. In this paper, a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) has been developed to analyze the diffraction properties of acoustic PT-symmetric gratings with two kinds of modulating approaches, including modulating the effective modulus and the effective density. Asymmetric diffraction with both Bragg incident angles and perpendicular incident angles is discussed by using the RCWA method. Results show that the modulation ratio for the diffraction vanishing point changes with the modulation amplitude differently for two kinds of modulating approaches. Moreover, the sound energy will be weaken or be enhanced at Bragg incident angles depending on the sign of incident angles and the modulation ratio.
