Abstract

The phenomenon of half-spectral unidirectional invisibility is introduced for one-dimensional periodic optical structures with tailored real and imaginary refractive index distributions in a non PT-symmetric configuration. The effect refers to the property in which the optical medium appears to be invisible, both in reflection and transmission, below the Bragg frequency when probed from one side and above the Bragg frequency when probed from the opposite side. Half-spectral invisibility is obtained by a combination of in-phase index and gain gratings whose spatial envelopes are related to each other by a Hilbert transform.
