Angle-Resolved Thermal Emission Spectroscopy Characterization of Non-Hermitian Meta-Crystals
arXiv:1911.06071 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.13.014071
Abstract
We establish the angle-resolved thermal emission spectroscopy (ARTES) as a new platform to characterize the intrinsic eigenmode properties of non-Hermitian systems. This method can directly map the dispersion of meta-crystals within the light cone with a high angular resolution. To illustrate its usefulness, we demonstrate the existence of bound states in the continuum (BICs) and non-Hermitian Fermi arcs in a planar corrugated meta-crystal by measuring its angle-resolved thermal emission spectra. We show that change in the thickness of the meta-crystal can induce a band inversion between a BIC and a radiative state, and a pair of exceptional points emerge when the band inversion occurs. With this approach, the band mapping of non-Hermitian photonic systems can become a relatively straightforward task.
