Polarization-state-dependent attenuation and amplification in a columnar thin film
Polarization-state-dependent attenuation and amplification in a columnar thin film
We numerically investigated the plane-wave reflection-transmission characteristics of a columnar thin film (CTF) whose columns are made from a dissipative material but whose void regions are filled with an active material. By computing the reflectances and transmittances, we found that the CTF can simultaneously amplify $s$-polarized incident light and attenuate …
