Scattering properties of PT-symmetric chiral metamaterials
Ioannis Katsantonis, Sotiris Droulias, Costas M. Soukoulis +2
The combination of gain and loss in optical systems that respect parity-time (PT)-symmetry has pointed recently to a variety of novel optical phenomena and possibilities. Many of t…
PT-symmetric chiral metamaterials: Asymmetric effects and PT-phase control
Ioannis Katsantonis, Sotiris Droulias, Costas M. Soukoulis +2
We investigate the influence of chirality on the PT-symmetric and PT-broken phase of PT-symmetric chiral systems. Starting from the point that transverse magnetic (TM) and transver…
Accessible phases via wave impedance engineering with PT-symmetric metamaterials
Sotiris Droulias, Ioannis Katsantonis, Maria Kafesaki +2
Optical systems that respect Parity-Time (PT) symmetry can be realized with proper incorporation of gain/loss materials. However, due to the absence of magnetic response at optical…
Chiral metamaterials with PT symmetry and beyond
Sotiris Droulias, Ioannis Katsantonis, Maria Kafesaki +2
Optical systems with gain and loss that respect Parity-Time (PT) symmetry can have real eigenvalues despite their non-Hermitian character. Chiral systems impose circularly polarize…
