Anisotropic mirrors are used to form a laser resonator exhibiting non-Hermitian, parity-time (PT) symmetric, polarization states. The relative angle of the two mirrors principal axes is used to control the degree of non-hermiticity. A sharp…

Parity-time (PT) symmetry is of great interest. The reciprocal and unidirectional features are intriguing besides the PT symmetry phase transition. Recently, the reciprocal transmission, unidirectional reflectionless and invisibility are…

Using a scattering matrix formalism, we derive the general scattering properties of optical structures that are symmetric under a combination of parity and time-reversal (PT). We demonstrate the existence of a transition beween PT-symmetric…

Parity-time-reversal symmetry ($\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry), a symmetry for the combined operations of space inversion ($\mathcal{P}$) and time reversal ($\mathcal{T}$), is a fundamental concept of physics and characterizes the functionality of…

The application of parity-time (PT) symmetry in optics, especially PT-symmetry breaking, has attracted considerable attention as a novel approach to controlling light propagation. Here, we report optical limiting by two coupled optical…

Optical spectroscopies are most often used to probe dynamical correlations in materials, but they are also a probe of symmetry. Polarization anisotropies are of course sensitive to structural anisotropies, but have been much less used as a…

Based on the reciprocity theorem, we put forward a generalized parametric space for an arbitrary transfer matrix with parity time (PT) symmetry. Through this space, one can extract complete information involving PT phases, reflectances,…

Parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry is one of the most important accomplishments in optics over the past decade. Here the concept of $\mathcal{PT}$ mode-locking of a laser is introduced, in which active phase locking of cavity axial modes…

We present a theoretical study of a novel polarization beam splitter (PBS), different to conventional time-reversal symmetry one, where can be totally reflected at two opposite sides with one specific linearly polarized light incident and…

Implementation of a parity-time (PT) symmetric microwave photonic system in the optical wavelength space with spatial singularity is proposed. In the proposed PT-symmetric microwave photonic system, the gain and loss modes are confined in a…

We explore the optical properties of a Fabry-Perot resonator with an embedded Parity-Time (PT) symmetrical grating. This PT-symmetrical grating is non diffractive (transparent) when illuminated from one side and diffracting (Bragg…

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,…

Parity-time (PT) symmetry is a fundamental notion in quantum field theories. It has opened a new paradigm for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians ranging from quantum mechanics, electronics, to optics. In the realm of optics, optical loss is…

Optical systems combining balanced loss and gain profiles provide a unique platform to implement classical analogues of quantum systems described by non-Hermitian parity-time- (PT-) symmetric Hamiltonians and to originate new synthetic…

From generation of backscatter-free transmission lines, to optical isolators, to chiral Hamiltonian dynamics, breaking time-reversal symmetry is a key tool for development of next-generation photonic devices and materials. Of particular…

We propose to realize mechanical parity-time PT symmetry in two coupled optomechanical systems. To provide gain to one mechanical resonator and the same amount of damping to the other, the two optical cavities should be driven by blue- and…

We introduce here the concept of establishing Parity-time symmetry through a gauge transformation involving a shift of the mirror plane for the Parity operation. The corresponding unitary transformation on the system's constitutive matrix…

We show that a vapor of multilevel atoms driven by far-off resonant laser beams, with possibility of interference of two Raman resonances, is highly efficient for creating parity-time (PT) symmetric profiles of the probe-field refractive…

We formulate gaussian and circular random-matrix models representing a coupled system consisting of an absorbing and an amplifying resonator, which are mutually related by a generalized time-reversal symmetry. Motivated by optical…

Despite its non-Hermitian nature, the transverse optical beam shift exhibits both real eigenvalues and non-orthogonal eigenstates. To explore this unexpected similarity to typical PT (parity-time)-symmetric systems, we first categorize the…
