Giant amplification of modes in parity-time symmetric waveguides

Optics 2012-08-29 v2

Abstract

The combination of the interference with the amplification of modes in a waveguide with gain and losses can result in a giant amplification of the propagating beam, which propagates without distortion of its average amplitude. An increase of the gain-loss gradient by only a few times results in a magnification of the beam by a several orders of magnitude.
