Lasing With Resonant Feedback in Weakly Modulated Parity-Time Symmetric Lattices

We report on the lasing action in weakly modulated parity-time (PT) symmetric lattices. At the exceptional point in PT-symmetric lattices, the amplitude and phase of unidirectionally scattered waves are independently and flexibly determined by the PT modulations, thus, providing a distinctive route...

description We report on the lasing action in weakly modulated parity-time (PT) symmetric lattices. At the exceptional point in PT-symmetric lattices, the amplitude and phase of unidirectionally scattered waves are independently and flexibly determined by the PT modulations, thus, providing a distinctive route to construct a lasing mode in finite systems with weakly modulated structures. It is revealed that the resonant feedback mechanism plays a crucial role in building up the lasing action. Our finding would enrich the singularity dynamics in the weakly modulated PT systems.
