Time-variant parity-time symmetry in frequency-scanning systems.

ABSTRACT: Parity-time (PT) symmetry is an active research area that provides a variety of new opportunities for different systems with novel functionalities. For instance, PT symmetry has been used in lasers and optoelectronic oscillators to achieve single-frequency lasing or oscillation. A single-frequency system is essentially a static PT-symmetric system, whose frequency is time-invariant. Here we investigate time-variant PT symmetry in frequency-scanning systems. Time-variant PT symmetry equations and eigenfrequencies for frequency-scanning systems are developed. We show that time-variant PT symmetry can dynamically narrow the instantaneous linewidth of frequency-scanning systems. The instantaneous linewidth of a produced frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform is narrowed by a facto
