Genetic optimization Invents non-Hermitian potentials for Asymmetric Reflectivity

We propose a general design strategy based on genetic optimization to realize asymmetric reflectivity in periodic and non-periodic planar structures containing dielectric and gain-loss layers. By means of an optimization algorithm, it is possible to design the imaginary (or real) part of the complex...

description We propose a general design strategy based on genetic optimization to realize asymmetric reflectivity in periodic and non-periodic planar structures containing dielectric and gain-loss layers. By means of an optimization algorithm, it is possible to design the imaginary (or real) part of the complex permittivity distribution from any given and arbitrary real (or imaginary) permittivity distribution, i.e to create non-Hermitian potentials intended to achieve on-demand light transport for a selected spectral range.
