Programmable Hybrid Exceptional Points in Passive Scattering Networks

Kaiyuan Wang, Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

Exceptional points (EPs) have long promised enhanced sensing of physical signals, but have practically been limited by simultaneous enhancement of noise. Aligning an EP's non-analy…

Anisotropy in Fourier space optical memory effect correlations

Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

We investigate anisotropy in Fourier-domain speckle correlations associated with the optical memory effect in disordered scattering media. Within a single scattering framework, we…

Extended scattering channels for random matrix simulations of polarized light transport

Niall Byrnes, Sulagna Dutta, Matthew R. Foreman

Modeling the propagation of light through disordered media is central to understanding and controlling wave transport in diverse optical and mesoscopic applications. Here, we prese…

Generalized Wigner-Smith theory for perturbations at exceptional and diabolic point degeneracies

Kaiyuan Wang, Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

Spectral degeneracies, including diabolic (DP) and exceptional (EP) points, exhibit unique sensitivity to external perturbations, enabling powerful control and engineering of wave…

Perturbing scattering resonances in non-Hermitian systems: a generalized Wigner-Smith operator formulation

Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

Resonances of open non-Hermitian systems are associated with the poles of the system scattering matrix. Perturbations of the system cause these poles to shift in the complex freque…

Random matrix theory of polarized light scattering in disordered media

Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

In this work we present a method for generating random matrices describing electromagnetic scattering from disordered media containing dielectric particles with prescribed single p…

Symmetry constraints for vector scattering and transfer matrices containing evanescent components: energy conservation, reciprocity and time reversal

Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

In this work we study the scattering and transfer matrices for electric fields defined with respect to an angular spectrum of plane waves. For these matrices, we derive the constra…

Universal bounds for imaging in scattering media

Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

In this work we establish universal ensemble independent bounds on the mean and variance of the mutual information and channel capacity for imaging through a complex medium. Both u…
