Scattering in Time-Varying Drude-Lorentz Models
Bryce Dixon, Calvin M. Hooper, Ian R. Hooper +1
Motivated by recent experiments, the theoretical study of wave propagation in time varying materials is of current interest. Although significant in nearly all such experiments, ma…

Quasi Normal Modes in Dispersive Photonic Time-Crystals
Calvin M. Hooper, Ian R. Hooper, Simon A. R. Horsley
Quasinormal modes characterise the transient response of static optical cavities. Here, we introduce the notion of a Floquet quasinormal mode to describe transient responses in pho…

Symmetry-Protected Lossless Modes in Dispersive Time-Varying Media
Calvin M. Hooper, James R. Capers, Ian R. Hooper +1
We give an exact application of a recently developed, operator-based theory of wave propagation in dispersive, time-varying media. Using this theory we find that the usual symmetry…
