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…

Topological Engineering of High-Order Exceptional Points through Transformation Optics

Kaiyuan Wang, Qi Jie Wang, Matthew R. Foreman +1

Exceptional points (EPs) in non-Hermitian photonic systems have attracted considerable research interest due to their singular eigenvalue topology and associated anomalous physical…

Generalized Wigner-Smith analysis of resonance perturbations in arbitrary non-Hermitian systems

Niall Byrnes, Matthew R. Foreman

Perturbing resonant systems causes shifts in their associated scattering poles in the complex plane. In a previous study [arXiv: 2408.11360], we demonstrated that these shifts can…

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…

Bootstrapping cascaded random matrix models: correlations in permutations of matrix products

Niall Byrnes, Gary R. W. Greaves, Matthew R. Foreman

Random matrix theory is a useful tool in the study of the physics of multiple scattering systems, often striking a balance between computation speed and physical rigour. Propagatio…
