报告摘要:We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of a three-level tight-binding non-Hermitian system.The system is tunable in a three-dimensional parameter space spanned by loss/gain and two independent detuning. The system has one order-3 exceptional point, characterized by the coalescence of all three eigenstates. We show that this is in fact an anisotropic exceptional point, displaying drastically different behaviors when approached from either one of the parametric directions. In particular, we found that the system also has two exceptional arcs consisting of order-2 exceptional points. These two exceptional arcs terminate at the order-3 exceptional point. All the above phenomena are observed experimentally. Through an experimental characterization of the phase rigidity of eigenvectors near the order-3 exceptional point, we confirmed that the system’s eigenvectors and eigenvalues follow different singular behaviors – a characteristic that is unique to exceptional point with order >2. We will also discuss an anomalous singular behavior when the order-3 exceptional point is approached from the specific parametric direction of loss/gain.
