Salient role of the non-Hermitian coupling for optimizing conditions in multiple maximizations of inter-cavity light
Abstract:
We reveal that non-Hermitian lossy couplings in an inter-cavity light transfer process are crucial for an optimum light transfer, unlike the prevailed belief. Our results turn out the fact that the light transfer can have multiple maxima following the increased inter-cavity distance. To validate this finding both in the weak and strong coupling regimes, we demonstrate our claim in the vicinity of the so-called exceptional point. We believe our results can contribute to realizing coupled-optical-cavity-based devices which is functional with an ultra-efficient light transfer, especially when the device scale is as small as the operation wavelength.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
