Optics

optical systems with balanced gain and loss whose behaviour obeys parity-time symmetry, showing real modes and abrupt symmetry breaking at a threshold.

In optics, parity-time symmetric optics refers to optical systems with balanced gain and loss whose behaviour obeys parity-time symmetry, showing real modes and abrupt symmetry breaking at a threshold. This meaning comes from Rüter (2010) in Nature Physics.[1]
