Study of Coherent Perfect Absorption Using Gaussian Beam in a Composite Medium

There is a study of coherent perfect absorption (CPA) in composite medium (CM) which is made of metal-dielectric composition. The CM, an orthorhombic shaped slab, is illuminated by two identical Gaussian beams (GB) incident at equal angle of incidence and focused on the two interfaces between wall of slab and air from opposite side. It has determine the necessary conditions required for CPA and shows that perfect CPA is possible with GBs. Author also shows broader beams exhibit more absorption than comparatively tightly focused beams.
