Theory of Coherent Perfect Absorption (CPA) applied to the layered polymer laser

ORAL

Abstract

Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) is a situation in which counterpropagating pump beams can be adjusted so that both beams are completely absorbed by the system. Using theory we delineate the conditions under which a CPA condition can be achieved in real polymeric laser films and remark on CPA's utility for enhancing these films utility.
