An instantaneous time mirror (ITM) is an interesting approach to manipulate wave propagation from the time boundaries. In the time domain, the reversed wave is previously proven to be the temporal derivative of the original pattern. Here, we further investigate into the relationship between the wave patterns in the spatial domain both theoretically and experimentally. The refraction of a square array of laser beams is used to determine the three-dimensional (3D) shape of the water surface. The experimental results verify the theoretical prediction that the reversed pattern is related to the Laplacian of the initial wave field. Based on these findings, the behaviors of the ITM activated in an inhomogeneous medium are discussed, and the phenomenon of total energy change is explained.

Radiation from magnetic and electric dipole moments is a key subject in theory of electrodynamics. Although people treat the problem thoroughly in the context of frequency domain, the problem is still not well understood in the context of time domain
, especially if dipole moments arbitrarily vary in time under action of external forces. Here, we scrutinize the instantaneous power radiated by magnetic and electric dipole moments, and report findings that are different from the conventional understanding of their instantaneous radiation found in textbooks. In contrast to the traditional far-field approach based on the Poynting vector, our analysis employs a near-field method based on the induced electromotive force, leading to corrective terms that are found to be consistent with time-domain numerical simulations, unlike previously reported expressions. Beyond its theoretical value, this work may also have significant impact in the field of time-varying metamaterials, especially in the study of radiation from subwavelength meta-atoms, scatterers and emitters that are temporally modulated.
The time reversal symmetry of the wave equation allows wave refocusing back at the source. However, this symmetry does not hold in lossy media. We present a new strategy to compensate wave amplitude losses due to attenuation. The strategy leverages t
he instantaneous time mirror (ITM) which generates reversed waves by a sudden disruption of the medium properties. We create a heterogeneous ITM whose disruption is unequal throughout the space to create waves of different amplitude. The time-reversed waves can then cope with different attenuation paths as typically seen in heterogeneous and lossy environments. We consider an environment with biological tissues and apply the strategy to a two-dimensional digital human phantom from the abdomen. A stronger disruption is introduced where forward waves suffer a history of higher attenuation, with a weaker disruption elsewhere. Computer simulations show heterogeneous ITM is a promising technique to improve time reversal refocusing in heterogeneous, lossy, and dispersive spaces.
Spin is a fundamental yet somewhat enigmatic intrinsic angular-momentum property of quantum particles or fields, which appears within relativistic field theories. The spin density in wave fields is described by the theoretical Belinfante-Rosenfeld co
nstruction based on the difference between the canonical and kinetic energy-momentum tensors. These quantities have an abstract mathematical character and are usually considered as non-observable per se. Here we demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that the Belinfante-Rosenfeld construction naturally arises in purely classical gravity (water surface) waves. There, the canonical momentum is associated with the generalized Stokes-drift phenomenon, while the spin is generated by subwavelength circular motion of water particles in inhomogeneous wave fields. Thus, we reveal the canonical spin and momentum in water waves and directly observe these fundamental relativistic field-theory properties as microscopic mechanical properties of particles in a classical wave system. Our findings shed light onto the nature of spin and momentum in wave fields, demonstrate the universality of field-theory concepts, and offer a new platform for studies of previously hidden aspects of quantum-relativistic physics.
Waves dissipate energy when they propagate through real medium. Theoretical study of waves is one of important way to understand the nature of waves in medium with dissipation. The study points out that the theoretical solution to the wave equation d
escribing a disturbance propagating in a dissipative medium is not unique, which is determined by the dissipation mechanism of the medium. A new general solution is proposed by assuming that the attenuations of disturbance can occur in the time and space domains. The general solution is further used in case studies. The properties of viscoelastic waves propagating in the Kelvin-Voigt medium and electromagnetic waves propagating in conductive medium with the reciprocal attenuation in time and space domains are analyzed. The result shows that the attenuation mechanism has an obvious influence on the properties of waves in the dissipative medium when the wave equations are the same.
Parity-Time (PT) symmetric systems have been widely recognized as fundamental building blocks for the development of novel, ultra-sensitive opto-electronic devices. However, arguably one of their major drawbacks is that they rely on non-linear amplif
ication processes that could limit their potential applications, particularly in the quantum realm. In this work, we show both theoretically and experimentally that gain-loss, PT-symmetric systems can be designed by means of linear, time-modulated components. More specifically, by making use of a state-of-the-art, fully reconfigurable electronic platform, we demonstrate that PT-symmetry breaking transitions can be observed by properly modulating the inductance (L) and the capacitance (C) of a single LC circuit. Importantly, the lossless dynamic-variations of the electrical components used in our LC circuits allow us to control the static and periodic (Floquet) regimes of our PT-symmetric system. Our results challenge the conventional wisdom that at least two-oscillator systems are needed for observing PT-symmetric phenomena, and provide a new perspective in the field of synthetic PT symmetry with important implications for sensing, energy transfer and topology.
