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 extend the generalize conservation law of light propagating in a one-dimensional $\cal PT$-symmetric system, i.e., $|T-1|=\sqrt{R_LR_R}$ for the transmittance $T$ and the reflectance $R_{L,R}$ from the left and right, to a multimode…
The Purcell effect -- stemming directly from the celebrated Fermi's Golden Rule -- links the enhanced emissivity of an emitter to the local density of states (LDoS) of a surrounding cavity. Under typical circumstances the LDoS is assumed to…
