A tunable optical diode based on gyrotropic metamaterials in the field of ultrasonic waves

Аннотация

The modified Ambartsumyan method of addition of layers is used for solving the problem of oblique light propagation through a layer of gyrotropic metamaterial in the field of two counterpropagating ultrasonic waves. It is shown that the studied system can operate as a tunable optical diode. The possibility of controlling the system parameters by changing the parameters of ultrasonic waves is studied.
