Bifurcation of avoided crossing at an exceptional point in the dispersion of sound and light in locally resonant media
- Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA (United States). Dept. of Chemistry
The avoided crossing behavior in the interaction of propagating sound or light waves with resonant inclusions is analyzed using a simple model of an acoustic medium containing damped mass-spring oscillators, which is shown to be equivalent to the Lorentz oscillator model in the elementary dispersion theory in optics. Two classes of experimental situations dictating the choice in the analysis of the dispersion relation are identified. If the wavevector is regarded as the independent variable and frequency as a complex function of the wavevector, then the avoided crossing bifurcates at an exceptional point at a certain value of the parameter γβ-1/2, where γ and β characterize the oscillator damping and interaction strength, respectively. This behavior is not observed if the wavevector is regarded as a complex function of frequency.
