Abstract

We present a simple closed expression for determining the condition for Coherent Perfect Absorption derived through electromagnetic wave treatment and interface boundary conditions. Apart from providing physical insight this expression can be used to estimate the values of various parameters required for observation of coherent perfect absorption in a given medium characterized by a complex dielectric constant. The results of the theoretical expression are found to be in good agreement with those obtained through numerical simulations.
