A thin conducting sheet - graphene, for example - transmits, absorbs, and reflects radiation. A sheet that is very thin, even vanishingly so, can still produce 50% absorption at normal incidence if it has conductivity corresponding to half…
Wave absorption in time-invariant, passive thin films is fundamentally limited by a trade-off between bandwidth and overall thickness. In this work, we investigate the use of temporal switching to reduce signal reflections from a thin…
Light propagation through a normal medium is determined not only by the real part of the refractive index but also by its imaginary part, which represents optical gain and loss. Therefore, two media with different gain and loss landscapes…
