Hidden Black: Coherent Enhancement of Absorption in Strongly-scattering Media
Y. D. Chong, A. Douglas Stone
We show that a weakly absorbing, strongly scattering (white) medium can be made very strongly absorbing at any frequency within its strong-scattering bandwidth by optimizing the in…

Unconventional modes in lasers with spatially varying gain and loss
Li Ge, Y. D. Chong, S. Rotter +2
We discuss a class of lasing modes created by a spatially inhomogeneous gain profile. These lasing modes are "extra modes", in addition to, and very different from, conventional la…

Effective theory of quadratic degeneracies
Y. D. Chong, Xiao-Gang Wen, Marin Soljacic
We present an effective theory for the Bloch functions of a two-dimensional square lattice near a quadratic degeneracy point. The degeneracy is protected by the symmetries of the c…
