Optimization-free Approach for Analog Filter Design through Spatial and Temporal Soft Switching of the Dielectric Constant

The inverse-scattering problem of an inhomogeneous material has been of interest for many years, and was generally addressed with various optimization techniques. In this paper, we suggest an optimization-free method for solving the inverse-scattering problem of a one-dimensional inhomogeneous medium and use this to demonstrate the design of desired reflection frequency response. In addition, we derive the governing equation of an analog problem - a time-dependent homogeneous medium and use the same technique to design a temporal switching profile for the design of frequency response in k-space.

One-Way Acoustic Guiding under transverse mean flow

In a moving acoustic medium, sound waves travel differently with and against the fluid flow. This well-established acoustic effect is backed by the intuition that the fluid velocity bias imparts momentum on the propagating acoustic waves, thus violating reciprocity. Based on this conception, fluid flow that is transverse to the wave direction of propagation will not break reciprocity. In this letter we contrast this common wisdom and theoretically show that the interplay between transverse mean flow and transverse structural gliding-asymmetry can yield strong nonreciprocity and even, surprisingly, one-way waveguiding which is rare in acoustics.
