Nonlinear Optics in Parity-time-symmetric and Quasi-parity-time-symmetric Systems

Abstract

Nonlinear optics in PT-symmetric complex media, i.e., optical media with spatially balanced gain and loss, is currently one of the research frontiers in optics and applied mathematics. PT optics exhibits a wide array of novel phenomena, which are inspiring new optical applications such as PT-symmetric single-mode lasers and unidirectional reflectionless optical devices. Thus, deep understanding of nonlinear light behaviors in PT-symmetric and PT-related optical media is important for both theoretical and practical reasons.
