We demonstrate that a self-complementary checkerboard-like metasurface works as a broadband coherent perfect absorber (CPA) when symmetrically illuminated by two counter-propagating incident waves. A theoretical analysis based on wave…
We propose a scheme for controlling nonlinear coherent perfect absorption (CPA) in a three-level \Lambda-type atom-cavity system. Generally, the normally nonlinear CPA and the bistable CPA can be attained at the different frequencies of an…
Recent works [Y.D. Chong {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}, 053901 (2010); W. Wan {\it et al.}, Science {\bf 331}, 889 (2011)] have shown that the time-reversed process of lasing at threshold realizes a coherent perfect absorber…
We analyze a scheme for controlling coherent photon absorption by cavity electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a three-level atom-cavity system. Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) can occur when time-reversed symmetry of lasing…
Coherent perfect absorption (CPA), also known as time-reversed laser, is a wave phenomenon resulting from the reciprocity of destructive interference of transmitted and reflected waves. In this work we consider quasi one-dimensional lattice…
We develop a Coherent Perfect Absorption (CPA) protocol for cases where scale invariance is violated due to the presence of nonlinear mechanisms. We demonstrate, using a microwave setting that lacks geometrical symmetries, that the…
Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) is an interferometric effect that guarantees full absorption in a lossy layer independently of its intrinsic losses. To date, it has been observed only at a single wavelength or narrow bandwidths, whereupon…
As photonic systems progress toward enhanced miniaturization, dynamic reconfigurability, and improved energy efficiency, a central challenge endures: the accurate and independent control of optical losses and resonant properties on…
Plasmonic nanoantennas offer new avenues to manipulate the propagation of light in materials due to their near field enhancement and ultrafast response time. Here we investigate the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) response in an L-shaped…
In a recent work, Y.D. Chong et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}, 053901 (2010)] proposed the idea of a coherent perfect absorber (CPA) as the time-reversed counterpart of a laser, in which a purely incoming radiation pattern is completely…
We consider linear and nonlinear coherent perfect absorbers (CPAs) in multidimensional geometries and construct explicitly the respective perfectly absorbed solutions. The multidimensional CPAs have a structure of the so-called simple…
Perfect absorption of light critically affects light-matter interaction for various applications. Coherent perfect absorbers (CPA) gain the unique capability of controlling light with light in a linear fashion. Multi-color CPAs [Phys. Rev.…
Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) is an interference process associated with the zeros of the scattering matrix that enables light-with-light interactions in linear systems, of interest for optical computing, data processing and sensing.…
We exploit the versatility provided by metal--dielectric composites to demonstrate controllable coherent perfect absorption (CPA) in a slab of heterogeneous medium. The slab is illuminated by coherent light from both sides, at the same…
We report the experimental realization of acoustic coherent perfect absorption (CPA) of four symmetric scatterers of very different structures. The only conditions necessary for these scatterers to exhibit CPA are that both the reflection…
Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) was introduced as a classical optics phenomenon of a standing-wave absorption by a subwavelength film. In this paper, we develop a theory of CPA of quantized standing waves taking account of a subwavelength…
Engineering nanophotonic mode dispersions in ultrathin, planar structures enables significant control over infrared perfect absorption (PA) and thermal emission characteristics. Here, using simulations, the wavelength and angular ranges…
Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) refers to interferometrically induced complete absorption of incident light by a partial absorber independently of its intrinsic absorption (which may be vanishingly small) or its thickness. CPA is…
Achieving the very special condition of perfect absorption (PA) in a complex scattering enclosure promises to enable a wealth of applications in secure communication, precision sensing, wireless power transfer, analog signal processing and…
Non-Hermitian photonic systems capable of perfectly absorbing incident radiation recently attracted much attention both because fundamentally they correspond to an exotic scattering phenomenon (a real-valued scattering matrix zero) and…
