A new exceptional point condition for coupled microresonators with coupled mode theory in space

Optics 2024-10-24 v1

Abstract

We derive new exceptional point (EP) conditions of the coupled microring resonators using coupled mode theory in space, a more accurate approach than the commonly used coupled mode theory in time. Transmission spectra around EPs obtained from the two models have been compared on two material platforms, revealing non-negligible deviations. Our analysis provides a guide for accurately determining parameter sets of coupled microrings at EPs and deepens our understanding on parity-time-symmetric coupled resonators at EPs.
