Switching the unidirectional reflectionlessness by polarization in non-ideal PT metamaterial based on the phase coupling

Abstract

An effective scheme on switching the exceptional point(EP) where unidirectional reflectionlessness occurs is firstly proposed in non-ideal PT metamaterial via the polarization of incident light. The unidirectional reflectionlessness could be effectively controlled only by adjusting the phase coupling of the two resonators which are consisted of two identical but vertically placed crosses and are excited by incident light as an effective gain. Besides, the unidirectional perfect absorber occurs in the vicinity of EP.
