This work presents a mechanism by which non-reciprocal wave transmission is achieved in a class of gyric metamaterial lattices with embedded rotating elements. A modulation of the device's angular momentum is obtained via prescribed…
In time-reversal invariant electronic systems the scattering matrix is anti-symmetric. This property enables an effect, designated here as "scattering anomaly", such that the electron transport does not suffer from back reflections,…
Each of the two moving observers observes the relative velocity of the other. The two velocities should be equal and opposite. We have shown that this relativistic requirement is not fulfilled by Lorentz transformation. We have also shown…
An analysis of the Lorentz transformation shows that the unchangeability of the space-time coordinates of the inertial systems under consideration and the possibility of a direct projection of those coordinates onto another are the…
The second-order differential equation describes harmonic oscillators, as well as currents in LCR circuits. This allows us to study oscillator systems by constructing electronic circuits. Likewise, one set of closed commutation relations…
Single-ended circuit topologies, and a theorem for the development thereof, are presented with which one may realize constant-resistance (or reflectionless) filters, having ideally zero reflection coefficient at all frequencies and from all…
Data-driven reduced order models (ROMs) recently emerged as powerful tool for the solution of inverse scattering problems. The main drawback of this approach is that it was limited to the measurement arrays with reciprocally collocated…
Optical isolators are essential for laser protection and robust signal routing, but the incorporation of the necessary magneto-optic (MO) materials in foundries has remained a challenge. As an alternative, several integrated non-magnetic…
Reciprocity is fundamental to light transport and is a concept that holds also in rather complex systems. Yet, reciprocity can be switched off even in linear, isotropic and passive media by setting the material structure into motion. In…
The implications of the Lorentz reciprocity theorem for a scatterer connected to waveguides with arbitrary modes, including degenerate, evanescent, and complex modes, are discussed. In general it turns out that a matrix $CS$ is symmetric,…
An experiment is described that tests theoretical predictions on how C-lines incident obliquely on a surface behave on reflection. C-lines in a polarised wave are the analogues of the optical vortices carried by a complex scalar wave, which…
Three dimensional topological insulator represents a class of novel quantum phases hosting robust gapless boundary excitations, which is protected by global symmetries such as time reversal, charge conservation and spin rotational symmetry.…
Energy, momentum, and angular momentum are fundamental properties tied to the symmetries of space and time, with photons and other elementary particles acting as carriers of these quantities. In most optical and optoelectronic devices,…
In Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 1760 (2000) A.O.Gogolin has challenged the established point of view that Mott's law for the dynamical conductivity of a 1 dimensional insulator is correct. We present the result of a numerical solution of…
We report optical transmission measurements on suspended silicon photonic-crystal waveguides, where one side of the photonic lattice is shifted by half a period along the waveguide axis. The combination of this glide symmetry and slow light…
In this paper, we theoretically, numerically and experimentally demonstrate the acoustic isolator effect in a 1D waveguide with direction dependent controlled boundary conditions. A theoretical model is used to explain the principle of non…
Propagation of light through media with a complex refractive index in which gain and loss are engineered to be $PT$ symmetric has many remarkable features. In particular the usual unitarity relations are not satisfied, so that the…
We show, that photon non-linearities in electromagnetically induced transparency can be at least one order of magnitude larger than predicted in all previous approaches. As an application we demonstrate that, in this regime they give rise…
Asymmetrical horizontal interdot coupling was demonstrated to exist in a system of a single plane of self-assembled CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE), second order photon correlation and optical orientation were…
