We study the diffraction produced by a $PT$-symmetric volume Bragg grating that combines modulation of refractive index and gain/loss of the same periodicity with a quarter-period shift between them. Such a complex grating has a directional…
Dual scatterers preserve the helicity of an incident field, whereas antidual scatterers flip it completely. In this setting of linear electromagnetic scattering theory, we provide a completely general proof on the non-existence of passive…

This paper concerns the analysis of a passive, broadband approximate cloaking scheme for the Helmholtz equation in ${\mathbb R}^d$ for $d=2$ or $d=3$. Using ideas from transformation optics, we construct an approximate cloak by ``blowing…
Directly solving graded materials from amplitude and phase was a method developed following transformation optics (TO), which provided reflectionless media for an incidence wave. However, this inverting method gives Hermitian media thus not…
