SUMMARY:Coherent perfect absorption and transmission of light
DESCRIPTION:Stefan Rotter\nTU Wien – Vienna University of Technology \n\nCoherent perfect absorption and transmission of light \nIn my talk I will present two recent works focused on the perfect absorption and transmission of waves through interferometric cancellation of backscattering. In the first case [1]\, we demonstrate that even a weakly absorbing film can be turned into a “coherent perfect absorber” by building a degenerate cavity around it. This special cavity perfectly couples incoming light fields with arbitrary wavefronts into the absorber – even for the case that light is a dynamically varying speckle pattern. In the second case [2]\, we demonstrate how to construct an anti-reflection structure for a complex scattering system like a disordered medium. Similar to an anti-reflection coating for conventional eye-glasses\, this structure leads to perfect transmission across the scattering system by suppressing back-scattering for any incoming wavefront. If time permits\, I will also say a few words about the topological origin of the above effects and how this aspect can be used to engineer thermal radiation [3]. \n[1] Y. Slobodkin\, G.

After studies in Vienna and Lausanne\, he obtained his Ph.D. in 2004\, followed by a postdoctoral position at Yale University. His group was established in 2011 and focuses on non-Hermitian physics\, theoretical quantum optics and on the propagation of classical or quantum waves through complex media. In all of these fields the Rotter group aims at identifying interesting new research directions and at exploring them in close collaboration with the experiment. \n \n  \n  \n\n  \n
