A Generalization of the Kramers-Kronig Relations for Linear Time-Varying Media
arXiv:2008.04304 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.103.144303
Abstract
We explore the mathematical theory to rigorously describe the response of media with linear time-varying, generally dispersive, electromagnetic constitutive parameters. We show that even when the temporal inhomogeneity takes place on a time scale comparable or shorter than the driving fields' time period, one can still define a physically meaningful time-varying dispersion. Accordingly, a generalized set of Kramers-Kronig relations is investigated to link the real and imaginary parts of the time-varying frequency-dispersive spectra characterizing the medium's constitutive response. Among others, we study the case of a Lorentzian dielectric response with time-varying volumetric density of polarizable atoms and present the varying circuital equivalents of the governing differential equation, which in turn allow us to use the notion of generalized time-varying impedances/admittances of a time-dependent resistor, inductor and capacitor.
