Bloch oscillations in complex crystals with PT symmetry
Abstract
Bloch oscillations (BO) in complex lattices with PT symmetry are theoretically investigated with specific reference to optical BO in photonic lattices with gain/loss regions. Novel dynamical phenomena with no counterpart in ordinary lattices, such as non-reciprocal BO related to violation of the Friedel's law of Bragg scattering in complex potentials, are highlighted.
