Taming the single-cylinder scattering through time-modulation -- The role of the modulation phase
Abstract
Dielectric particles with time-modulated electromagnetic properties exhibit intriguing scattering phenomena, entailing unique response and possibilities in meta-structures made of such particles. In this work, we investigate the scattering properties of an infinitely-long cylinder with periodically time-modulated permittivity. We demonstrate parametric scattering amplification, depending on the strength of the modulation, as well as controllable angular scattering pattern, ranging from enhanced forward to enhanced backward, or even scattering cancellation. This angular tunability is achieved through appropriate control of the modulation phase, highlighting its critical role in multi-modal time-modulated scattering systems.
