Abstract

The spectral and localization properties of PT-symmetric optical superlattices, either infinitely extended or truncated at one side, are theoretically investigated, and the criteria that ensure a real energy spectrum are derived. The analysis is applied to the case of superlattices describing a complex (PT-symmetric) extension of the Harper Hamiltonian in the rational case.
