The Effect of non-Hermiticity on Adiabatic Elimination

Optics 2018-02-07 v1 Other Condensed Matter Applied Physics

Abstract

We investigate the influence of non-Hermiticity on the adiabatic elimination in coupled waveguides. We show that adiabatic elimination is not affected when the system is in parity-time symmetric phase. However, in the broken phase the eliminated waveguide loses its darkness namely its amplitude starts increasing, which means adiabatic elimination does not hold in the broken phase. Our results can advance the control of the dynamics in coupled laser cavities, and help the design of controllable absorbers.
