Coherence onset in PT-symmetric organic microcavities: towards directional propagation of light
For the investigation of non-Hermitian effects and physics under parity-time (PT) symmetry, photonic systems are ideal model systems for both experimental and theoretical research. We investigate a fundamental building block of a potential photonic device, consisting of coupled organic microcavities. The coupled system contains cavities with gain and loss and respects parity-time symmetry, leading to non-Hermitian terms in the corresponding Hamiltonian. Experimentally, two coupled cavities are realized and driven optically using pulsed laser excitation up to the lasing regime. We show that above the lasing threshold, when coherence evolves, the coupled-cavity system starts to operate asymmetrically, generating more light on one side of the device, being characteristic of non-Hermitian PT-symmetric systems. Calculations and simulations on a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain composed of these PT-symmetric unit cells show the emergence of non-trivial topological features.
期刊介绍:
Rapid progress in optics and photonics has broadened its application enormously into many branches, including information and communication technology, security, sensing, bio- and medical sciences, healthcare and chemistry.
Recent achievements in other sciences have allowed continual discovery of new natural mysteries and formulation of challenging goals for optics that require further development of modern concepts and running fundamental research.
The Journal of the European Optical Society – Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP) aims to tackle all of the aforementioned points in the form of prompt, scientific, high-quality communications that report on the latest findings. It presents emerging technologies and outlining strategic goals in optics and photonics.
The journal covers both fundamental and applied topics, including but not limited to:
Classical and quantum optics
Light/matter interaction
Optical communication
Micro- and nanooptics
Nonlinear optical phenomena
Optical materials
Optical metrology
Optical spectroscopy
Colour research
Nano and metamaterials
Modern photonics technology
Optical engineering, design and instrumentation
Optical applications in bio-physics and medicine
Interdisciplinary fields using photonics, such as in energy, climate change and cultural heritage
The journal aims to provide readers with recent and important achievements in optics/photonics and, as its name suggests, it strives for the shortest possible publication time.
