Reversing the pump dependence of a laser at an exceptional point
Reversing the pump dependence of a laser at an exceptional point
When two resonant modes in a system with gain or loss coalesce in both their resonance position and their width, a so-called exceptional point occurs, which acts as a source of non-trivial physics in a diverse range of systems. Lasers provide a natural setting to study such non-Hermitian degeneracies, as …
