Time-reflection of microwaves by a fast optically-controlled time-boundary

TR Jones, AV Kildishev, M Segev, D Peroulis - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
When an electromagnetic (EM) wave propagates in a medium whose properties are varied
abruptly in time, the wave experiences refractions and reflections known as time-refractions …
