Uncovering hidden resonances in non-Hermitian systems with scattering thresholds
arXiv:2503.03549 · doi:10.1002/lpor.202500811
Abstract
The points where diffraction orders emerge or vanish in the propagating spectrum of periodic non-Hermitian systems are referred to as scattering thresholds. Close to these branch points, resonances from different Riemann sheets can tremendously impact the optical response. However, these resonances are so far elusive for two reasons. First, their contribution to the signal is partially obscured, and second, they are inaccessible for standard computational methods. Here, the interplay of scattering thresholds with resonances is explored and a multi-valued rational approximation is introduced to access the hidden resonances. The theoretical and numerical approach is used to analyze the resonances of a plasmonic line grating. This work elegantly explains the occurrence of pronounced spectral features at scattering thresholds applicable to many nanophotonic systems of contemporary and future interest.
