Investigation of PT symmetry breaking and exceptional points in delay-coupled semiconductor lasersAndrew Ryan Wilkey (11209566) 06 August 2021 (has links)
This research investigates characteristics of PT (parity-time) symmetry breaking in a system of two optically-coupled, time-delayed semiconductor lasers. A theoretical rate equation model for the lasers’ electric fields is presented and then reduced to a 2x2 Hamiltonian model, which, in the absence of time-delay, is PT-symmetric. The important parameters we control are the temporal separation of the lasers (τ), the frequency detuning (∆ω), and the coupling strength (κ). The detuning is experimentally controlled by varying the lasers’ temperatures, and intensity vs. ∆ωbehavior are examined, specifically how the PT-transition and the period and amplitude of sideband intensity oscillations change withκandτ. Experiments are compared to analytic predictions and numerical results, and all are found to be in good agreement. Eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and exceptional points of the reduced Hamiltonian model are numerically and analytically investigated, specifically how nonzero delay affects existing exceptional points.

Investigation of PT Symmetry Breaking and Exceptional Points in Delay-coupled Semiconductor LasersWilkey, Andrew 08 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This research investigates characteristics of PT (parity-time) symmetry breaking in a system of two optically-coupled, time-delayed semiconductor lasers. A theoretical rate equation model for the lasers' electric fields is presented and then reduced to a 2x2 Hamiltonian model, which, in the absence of time-delay, is PT-symmetric. The important parameters we control are the temporal separation of the lasers, the frequency detuning, and the coupling strength. The detuning is experimentally controlled by varying the lasers' temperatures, and intensity vs. detuning behavior are examined, specifically how the PT-transition and the period and amplitude of sideband intensity oscillations change with coupling and delay. Experiments are compared to analytic predictions and numerical results, and all are found to be in good agreement. Eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and exceptional points of the reduced Hamiltonian model are numerically and analytically investigated, specifically how nonzero delay affects existing exceptional points.
