Abstract We explicitly derive the general conditions of a metamaterial slab to achieve coherent perfect absorber (CPA) and laser under the excitation of two counter-propagating incident waves. Our results provide a unified theory that could be applied in designing homogenous metamaterial with complex parameters for realizing CPAs and lasers. Especially, the theory discusses two special cases, i.e., case 1) a metamaterial slab with complex permittivity and real permeability, or complex permeability and real permittivity, and case 2) a metamaterial slab with both complex permittivity and permeability, which encompass the entire range of metamaterials with complex parameters. For both cases, our theory accurately derives the required parameters of the metamaterial for CPA, laser and their coexistence, as validated by numerical simulations. Our work serves as a guide for designing CPAs and lasers via general metamaterial slabs of complex parameters.
期刊介绍：
General physics – physics of elementary particles and fields – nuclear physics – atomic, molecular and optical physics – classical areas of phenomenology – physics of gases, plasmas and electrical discharges – condensed matter – cross-disciplinary physics and related areas of science and technology.
Letters submitted to EPL should contain new results, ideas, concepts, experimental methods, theoretical treatments, including those with application potential and be of broad interest and importance to one or several sections of the physics community. The presentation should satisfy the specialist, yet remain understandable to the researchers in other fields through a suitable, clearly written introduction and conclusion (if appropriate).
EPL also publishes Comments on Letters previously published in the Journal.
