Gain-loss-engineering: a new platform for extreme anisotropic thermal photon tunneling
Cheng-Long Zhou, Yu-Chen Peng, Yong Zhang +3
We explore a novel approach to achieving anisotropic thermal photon tunneling, inspired by the concept of parity-time symmetry in quantum physics. Our method leverages the modulati…
