摘要:

利用非厄米性设计辐射的传输及其与物质的相互作用,特别是通过被称为例外点(EP)的光谱简并,是一个新兴的领域,具有基础和实际意义。手征性行为在EP附近的辐射控制,如单向反射或激光与潜在的应用领域,从腔量子电动力学和光谱滤波传感和热成像开辟了新的机会。然而,在参数空间中将系统调整和稳定到离散EP是一项具有挑战性的任务:要么系统在EP附近运行,而不是直接在EP处运行,要么EP的真实功率被稳定性问题所掩盖。在这里,我们通过设计一个光子系统来规避这一挑战,该光子系统在一个特殊点的表面上运行,称为特殊表面(ES)。我们实现这一点,通过使用波导耦合的光学谐振腔与外部反馈回路,诱导其频率简并顺时针(CW)和逆时针(CCW)行进模式之间的非互易耦合。通过操作系统在ES上的临界耦合,我们证明了,第一次,手征和退化相干完美吸收(CPA)的效果,其中输入波在一个方向上被完全吸收。这种新型的CPA-EP是通过观察预测和长期寻求的平方洛伦兹吸收线型揭示的。我们希望我们的研究结果和方法可以作为非厄米物理学和依赖辐射工程的其他领域之间的桥梁。

英文摘要:

Engineering the transport of radiation and its interaction with matter using non-Hermiticity, particularly through spectral degeneracies known as exceptional points(EPs), is an emerging field that has both fundamental and practical implications. Chiral behavior in the vicinity of EPs opens new opportunities in radiation control, such as unidirectional reflection or lasing with potential applications in areas ranging from cavity quantum electrodynamics and spectral filtering to sensing and thermal imaging. However, tuning and stabilizing a system to a discrete EP in parameter space is a challenging task: either the system is operated close to an EP rather than directly at the EP or the true power of EP is obscured by stability issues. Here, we circumvent this challenge by designing a photonic system that operates on a surface of exceptional points, known as an exceptional surface (ES). We achieve this by using a waveguide-coupled optical resonator with an external feedback loop that induces a nonreciprocal coupling between its frequency degenerate clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) traveling modes. By operating the system at critical coupling on the ES, we demonstrate, for the first time, the effect of chiral and degenerate coherent perfect absorption (CPA) where input waves in only one direction are perfectly absorbed. This novel type of CPA-EP is revealed through the observation of the predicted and long-sought squared Lorentzian absorption lineshapes. We expect our results and approach to serve as a bridge between non-Hermitian physics and other fields that rely on radiation engineering.
