Unidirectional zero reflection as gauged parity-time symmetry

We introduce here the concept of establishing parity-time (PT)-symmetry through a gauge transformation involving a shift of the mirror plane for the parity operation. The corresponding unitary transformation on the system’s constitutive matrix allows us to generate and explore a family of equivalent...
