Book Chapter
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Gradoni, G., Sewell, P., Benson, T. M., & Creagh, S. C. (2017). Theory and numerical modelling of parity-time symmetric structures in photonics: boundary integral equation for coupled microresonator structures. In Recent Trends in Computational Photonics. Springer Nature

The spectral behaviour and the real-time operation of Parity-Time (PT) symmetric coupled resonators are investigated. A Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) model is developed to study these structures in the frequency domain. The impact of realistic gai...

Localized single frequency lasing states in a finite parity-time symmetric resonator chain (2016)
Journal Article
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S. C., Sewell, P., Gradoni, G., & Benson, T. M. (2016). Localized single frequency lasing states in a finite parity-time symmetric resonator chain. Scientific Reports, 6, Article e20499. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep20499

In this paper a practical case of a finite periodic Parity Time chain made of resonant dielectric cylinders is considered. The paper analyzes a more general case where PT symmetry is achieved by modulating both the real and imaginary part of the mate...

The paper reports on the coupling of Parity-Time (PT)-symmetric whispering gallery resonators with realistic material and gain/loss models. Response of the PT system is analyzed for the case of low and high material and gain dispersion, and also for...
