Light scattering from stationary PT-symmetric collections of particles

Opt Lett. 2021 Mar 15;46(6):1417-1420. doi: 10.1364/OL.418537.

Abstract

A potential scattering theory from parity-time (PT) collections of particles with gain and loss is introduced, and the forms of their structure and pair-structure factors are elucidated. An example relating to light scattering from a random distribution of a pair of particles with gain and loss is considered.
