We present here how a coherent perfect absorber-laser (CPAL) enabled by parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$)-symmetry breaking may be exploited to build monochromatic amplifying devices for flexural waves. The fourth order partial differential equation governing the propagation of flexural waves leads to four by four transfer matrices, and this results in physical properties of the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry specific to elastic plate systems. We thus demonstrate the possibility of using CPAL for such systems and we argue the possibility of using this concept to detect extremely small-scale vibration perturbations with important outcomes in surface science (imaging of nanometer vibration) and geophysics (improving seismic sensors like velocimeters). The device can also generate finite signals using very low exciting intensities. The system can alternatively be used as a perfect absorber for flexural energy by tailoring the left and right incident wave for energy harvesting applications.

We investigate the effects of non-Hermiticity on topological pumping, and uncover a connection between a topological edge invariant based on topological pumping and the winding numbers of exceptional points. In Hermitian lattices, it is known that th
e topologically nontrivial regime of the topological pump only arises in the infinite-system limit. In finite non-Hermitian lattices, however, topologically nontrivial behavior can also appear. We show that this can be understood in terms of the effects of encircling a pair of exceptional points during a pumping cycle. This phenomenon is observed experimentally, in a non-Hermitian microwave network containing variable gain amplifiers.
Topological defects (including disclinations and dislocations) which commonly exist in various materials have shown an amazing ability to produce excellent mechanical and physical properties of matters. In this paper, disclinations and dislocations a
re firstly introduced into the valley-polarized elastic phononic plate. Deformation of the lattice yields the interface expressing as the topologically protected wave guiding, due to the valley-polarized phase transition of phononic crystals (PnCs) across the interface. Then, disclinations are introduced into the Wannier-type elastic phononic plate. The deformation of the lattice yielded by disclinations produces a pentagonal core with the local five-fold symmetry. The topological bound states are well localized around the boundaries of the pentagonal cores with and without the hollow regions. The topological interface state and the topological bound state immunize against the finite sizes and the moderate disturbances of plates, essentially differing from the trivial defect states. The discovery of topological defect states unveils a new horizon in topological mechanics and physics, and it provides a novel platform to implement large-scale elastic devices with robust topological waveguides and resonators.
The genesis of lasing, as an evolution of the laser hybrid eigenstates comprised of electromagnetic modes and atomic polarization, is considered. It is shown that the start of coherent generation at the laser threshold is preceded by the formation of
a special hybrid state at the lasing pre-threshold. This special state is characterized by an enhanced coupling among excited atoms and electromagnetic modes. This leads to an increase in the rate of stimulated emission in the special state and, ultimately, to lasing. At the lasing pre-threshold, the transformation of hybrid eigenstates has the features of an exceptional point (EP) observed in non-Hermitian systems. The special state is formed when eigenfrequencies of two hybrid states coalesce or come close to each other. Below the pre-threshold, lifetimes of all hybrid states grow with increasing pump rate. When the pump rate crosses the pre-threshold, resonance trapping occurs with the lifetime of the special state continuing to increase while the lifetimes of all other eigenstates begin to decrease. Consequently, the latter eigenstates do not participate in the lasing. Thus, above the pre-threshold, a laser transitions into the single-mode regime.
We investigate non-Hermitian degeneracies, also known as exceptional points, in continous elastic media, and their potential application to the detection of mass and stiffness perturbations. Degenerate states are induced by enforcing parity-time symm
etry through tailored balanced gain and loss, introduced in the form of complex stiffnesses and may be implemented through piezoelectric transducers. Breaking of this symmetry caused by external perturbations leads to a splitting of the eigenvalues, which is explored as a sentitive approach to detection of such perturbations. Numerical simulations on one-dimensional waveguides illustrate the presence of several exceptional points in their vibrational spectrum, and conceptually demonstrate their sensitivity to point mass inclusions. Second order exceptional points are shown to exhibit a frequency shift in the spectrum with a square root dependence on the perturbed mass, which is confirmed by a perturbation approach and by frequency response predictions. Elastic domains supporting guided waves are then investigated, where exceptional points are formed by the hybridization of Lamb wave modes. After illustrating a similar sensitivity to point mass inclusions, we also show how these concepts can be applied to surface wave modes for sensing crack-type defects. The presented results describe fundamental vibrational properties of PT-symmetric elastic media supporting exceptional points, whose sensitivity to perturbations goes beyond the linear dependency commonly encountered in Hermitian systems. The findings are thus promising for applications involving sensing of perturbations such as added masses, stiffness discontinuities and surface cracks.
Requiring neither active components nor complex designs, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a generic framework for undistorted asymmetric elastic-wave transmission in a thin plate just using a layer of lossless metasurface. The asymmetric tra
nsmission stems from the uneven diffraction of +1 and -1 orders on opposite sides of the metasurface, respectively. Compared with previous loss-induced strategies, the present metasurface maintains a nearly total transmission for the transportation side, but a total reflection from the opposite side, exhibiting a higher contrast ratio of transmission. Moreover, we illustrate that this strong asymmetric behavior is robust to the frequency, the incident angle and the loss effect. The present work paves new avenues to compact rectification, high resolution ultrasonography, vibration and noise control in elastodynamics and acoustics.
