1209.0819 (Roberto Baginski B. Santos)

Non-hermitian model for resonant cavities coupled by a chiral mirror    [PDF]

Roberto Baginski B. Santos
Inspired by a recently observed asymmetry in the transmission of circularly polarized light through a metamaterial, we present a non-hermitian $\mathscr{PT}$-symmetric quantum model to describe the interaction of the light fields in two resonant cavities coupled via a 2D-chiral mirror. We compute the time evolution of the light fields in this model, find two sets of operators compatible with the hamiltonian in a delocalized representation, discover the energies of the system and show that the transmission probability predicted by the model is indeed asymmetric.
