Abstract:
A method for controlling the refractive index that is based on the backward rescattering of the scattered and amplified electromagnetic waves is proposed and analysed. The resulting field is a sum of the initial (probe) wave and the rescattered wave. The effective wave number of the total wave can be varied by varying the gain. This variation in the wave number can be treated as a variation in the refractive index, although the physical properties of the medium do not change. The effective refractive index for the total wave propagating in such a device was called the virtual refractive index.
