Abstract
We introduce the concept of multichannel dynamically modulated perfect absorbers (DMPAs), which are periodically modulated lossy interferometric traps that completely absorb incident monochromatic waves. The proposed DMPA protocols utilize a Floquet engineering approach which produces a variety of emerging phenomena and features: reconfigurability of perfect absorption (PA) for a broad range of frequencies of the incident wave; PA for infinitesimal local losses, and PA via critical coupling with high- modes by inducing back-reflection dynamical mirrors.
